Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Lasagna sheets
- 400 grams Firm tofu
- 300 grams Fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 700 milliliters Marinara sauce
- 200 grams Vegan mozzarella cheese
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 10 leaves Fresh basil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the lasagna sheets according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Press the tofu to remove excess water, then crumble it into a texture resembling ricotta cheese.
Chop the onion and mince the garlic.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent (about 5 minutes).
Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet. Stir in the salt, black pepper, and nutritional yeast. Cook for another 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
Roughly chop the spinach and fresh basil. Add them to the tofu mixture and stir until combined.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Lay down a single layer of cooked lasagna sheets over the sauce.
Spread one-third of the tofu-spinach mixture over the lasagna sheets, followed by a layer of marinara sauce, and sprinkle some vegan mozzarella cheese on top.
Repeat the layers (lasagna sheets, tofu-spinach mixture, marinara sauce, vegan cheese) twice more, finishing with a generous layer of vegan mozzarella cheese on top.
Cover the lasagna with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
