Lasagna with tofu

8 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
3½ cup Spaghetti sauce; up to 4 cups
1½ pounds Firm tofu; (use Lowfat tofu)
¼ cup Lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dried basil
2 teaspoons Honey
1 teaspoon Salt
1 Clove garlic; up to 3; minced
½ pounds Lasagna noodles; cooked

Directions

Note: It was a bit runny when I made it last night (but quite tasty), and the next time, I think I'll use half tofu and half LF cottage cheese or even mashed potato. This is a lot of tofu, so look for a brand with the lowest fat you can find (mine had 8g/lb).

Preheat oven to 350 deg F

In a food processor or blender, puree to a fine grainy ricotta-like texture the tofu, lemon juice, basil, honey, salt, and garlic (or garlic salt).

Start making layers in a 9" x 13" baking dish, starting with a thin layer of spaghetti sauce, then a layer of cooked noodles, then a layer of half of the tofu filling. Continue in the same order, using half the remaining sauce, noodles, the remaining tofu filling, ending with the remaining spaghetti sauce (I put one more layer of noodles on top of the last of the filling, then the remaining spaghetti sauce; i.e., sauce, noodles, filling, sauce, noodles, filling, noodles, sauce).

Bake for about 30 minutes.
