Basil Spinach Lasagna

Prep time 15 minutes

1/2 pkg. firm tofu, drained

1/2 T olive oil

1/2 tsp basil, dried

1/2 tsp parsley, dried

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 t salt

1/4 t garlic powder

1/8 tsp oregano, dried

5 oz. frozen chopped spinach

26 oz spaghetti sauce

9 whole-wheat lasagna noodles, uncooked

To make tofu filling:  mash tofu in a bowl, then add the next 8 ingredients and mix well.  Do not thaw and drain spinach, as you need the liquid for the uncooked noodles.  Spread a small amount of sauce on the bottom of a 8 x 8 pan.  Break 3 uncooked noodles to fit and lay on top of the sauce.  Spread half of the tofu filling over the noodles and cover with another layer of sauce.  Top with 3 more noodles and the remaining filling and more sauce.  End with the last 3 noodles and cover with the remaining sauce.  Pour additional 1 cup water over noodles.  Cover and refrigerate overnight.  You may bake immediately, but the noodles will not be as soft.  Bake at 350º F for 45 minutes.  Makes 4-6 servings:

This is my all time best dish for meat eaters that think they don’t like vegetarian food.  They are amazed there is no meat in it.
