Lasagna is one of the easiest ways to incorporate tofu into your diet. Crumbled firm tofu nicely takes on the role of cottage cheese, and blends in perfectly – for most, it is difficult to tell that there is tofu in the lasagna at all. This simple recipe makes a quick and fuss free dinner, just add a tossed salad and some crusty bread. 

 Prep time: 5 min   Cook time: 40-50 min   Servings: 9
 
     
 INGREDIENTS

9 oven-ready lasagna noodles
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 medium onion diced
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 cup sliced mushrooms (I used portobello)
1 green or red pepper, chopped
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 (500ml) fat-free cottage cheese
1 pkg Sunrise Firm Tofu, crumbled and drained
1 (300g) pkg frozen chopped spinach - thawed, drained and squeezed dry
2 eggs
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 (700 ml) jar pasta sauce
¾ cup water
dried parsley

DIRECTIONS 

1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2.In a large pot heat oil, sauté garlic, oil, pepper and mushrooms.  Add the jar of sauce and water and stir.
3.In a medium bowl combine tofu, eggs, parmesan, cottage cheese and spinach and ½ of the mozzarella cheese.
4.Spread a layer of sauce (about 1/3 of it) on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
5.Lay 3 lasagna noodles on top of the sauce mixture
6.Spread ½ of the tofu spinach cheese mixture of the noodles, top with 1/3 of sauce and then 3 more lasagna noodles
7.Spread remaining tofu spinach cheese mixture and top with last 3 lasagna noodles ending with sauce. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese.
8.Cover and bake in preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, removing the cover for the last 15 minutes.  Sprinkle with dried parsley and let stand 15 minutes before serving.
