| Directions: | Preheat the oven to 350F. To make the tofu "ricotta", place the tofu in a bowl and mash until crumbly. Add remaining ingredients and mix until well combined and the consistency resembles ricotta cheese. Set aside. To prepare the vegetables, saute the broccoli, mushrooms, bell peppers, and spinach, without water, over low heat for 5 minutes or just until tender. To assemble the lasagna, spread a thin layer of the pasta sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Layer the zucchini slices, sauteed vegetables, and tofu "ricotta" and then spread with pasta sauce. Repeat the layers, ending with the tofu "ricotta". Spread the remaining pasta sauce on top and bake, uncovered, for approximately 45 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Garnish with the shredded basil. |
