Vegetarian Spinach Lasagna


Vegetarian Spinach Lasagna

* 2 oz. egg-free lasagna noodles
* 1 cup frozen spinach
* 1 clove garlic
* 1 cup tomato sauce, low sodium
* 1/4 tsp. dried basil
* 3 1/2 oz. soft tofu
* 1/2 tbsp. olive oil
* 2 oz. vegetarian cheese (soy or rice cheese)

Directions:

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Cook wide lasagna noodles according to package directions, omitting salt; drain and set aside. Place cooked noodles in a single layer on waxed paper and cut them in half; reserve. Coat a small loaf pan lightly with cooking spray. In a microwave-safe dish, thaw spinach and press water out. Drain tofu and in a small bowl, coarsely mash and combine with spinach; reserve. Heat oil in a small nonstick saucepan over low-medium heat and sauté garlic briefly, about 1 minute. Add tomato sauce and basil, lower heat and simmer uncovered for about 2-3 minutes. To assemble lasagna: spread 2-3 teaspoons of tomato sauce evenly on bottom of a small loaf pan. Layer in the following order: half a noodle, tofu mixture, vegetarian cheese, and tomato sauce. Repeat layering with remaining ingredients, ending with the remaining sauce. Cover with foil and bake 10-15 minutes. Uncover, bake an additional 4-6 minutes or until bubbly. Let stand 5 minutes and serve.

    Just so you know, this should be called Vegan Spinach Lasagna…. since you are using vegan cheese and vegan noodles. Vegetarians eat eggs and dairy products.

    Dang – that's sure a lot of calories for a spinach dish!! I mean, for 677 calories I could get a LOT more food than that. Must be the lasagna noodles????
