EASY TOFU LASAGNA



Easy Tofu Lasagna image

This recipe came from a desire to use less meat and heathier alternatives in our family's food. My family loves it! We've even served it to others who are dead-set against eating anything with tofu in it and they praised it (before knowing about the tofu) and were pleasantly surprised. I hope this works as well for you as it did for me! Excellent as leftovers (better in my opinion). (P.S. I usually use the Low Fat versions of these foods, but never the fat free - it loses too much taste that way).

Time 1h15m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (16 ounce) box lasagna noodles, cooked &,drained
1 (12 ounce) package firm tofu, drained &,rinsed
16 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
16 ounces ricotta cheese
2 (16 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce
parsley (optional)
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large bowl crumble in the drained and rinsed Hard Tofu.
  • Add 12 oz of the Shredded Mozzarella, Ricotta Cheese, and spices (also, try portabello mushrooms, cooked diced chicken, spinach, broccoli, etc for added flavor).
  • Fold together everything in the bowl with a large spoon- Set aside.
  • In a 9" x 13" pan, spoon a layer of spaghetti sauce (using a flavored sauce- like mushroom- would save you from adding mushrooms separately).
  • Then add a layer of lasagne noodles (Because the noodles are usually not long enough for this pan, I usually rip one noodle in half to use vertically and then 3 horizontally, like an elongated"E").
  • Spoon on a layer of filling, then a layer of sauce, then a layer of noodles (this time a backwards"E").
  • Continue layering like this until you run out of ingredients (even throwing some extra filling or sauce on top is fine).
  • Top with remaining 4 oz mozzarella and some parsley.
  • Cook for 45 min to 1 hr, or until hot and bubbly.
  • Cut in squares.

  • Drain tofu and press to extract as much liquid as possible. If you don't own a tofu press, you can use the DIY method. Simply wrap the tofu in 1-2 paper towels, the wrap an absorbent kitchen towel around it. Place on a cutting board and top with another cutting board, a plate or another flat surface. Place a heavy object, like cookbooks or canned food on top. You want something heavy so it really presses into the tofu and removes the excess moisture. Let the tofu sit like this for 30 minutes or up to a few hours. The longer you let it sit, the more liquid you'll remove!
  • pray a large casserole dish (I've used a 3 1/2 quart casserole dish as well as a 9X13 baking dish ) with non-stick spray.
  • Chop off ends of the zucchini. Using a mandolin slicer, thinly slice lengthwise into 1/8 inch strips. If you don't have a mandolin, simply slice them lengthwise and try to make sure they are similar in width. These strips will be your lasagna noodles.
  • Boil a pot of water, large enough to fit all your zucchini slices. Once boiling, place zucchini slices in the water and cook for about 4 minutes. Pour zucchini slices and water into a strainer and let the zucchini cool while draining off as much liquid as possible. Carefully place zucchini strips on paper towel or an absorbent kitchen towel to soak up any access liquid. The zucchini noodles will be hot and fragile so do this step carefully, but don't skip it!
