EASY TOFU LASAGNA

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.
