Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Lasagna noodles
- 2 cups Ricotta cheese
- 3 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 5 cups Fresh spinach
- 14 ounces Firm tofu
- 4 cups Marinara sauce
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Drain the tofu and pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel. Crumble the tofu into a large mixing bowl. Add ricotta cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté the spinach until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Let it cool for a few minutes, then chop the spinach and fold it into the tofu and ricotta mixture.
In a small bowl, beat the egg and stir it into the spinach and tofu mixture to help bind the filling.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Place a layer of lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread 1/3 of the spinach and tofu mixture over the noodles, followed by 1 cup of marinara sauce, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, and 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan.
Repeat the layering process two more times, finishing with a final layer of noodles and marinara sauce at the top.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.
Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
