Time 2h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ cups chopped onion
3 tablespoons minced garlic
4 (14.5 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes
⅓ cup tomato paste
½ cup chopped fresh basil
½ cup chopped parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (16 ounce) package lasagna noodles
2 pounds firm tofu
2 tablespoons minced garlic
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
¼ cup chopped parsley
½ teaspoon salt
ground black pepper to taste
3 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: In a large, heavy saucepan, over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Place the onions in the saucepan and saute them until they are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic; cook 5 minutes more.
  • Place the tomatoes, tomato paste, basil and parsley in the saucepan. Stir well, turn the heat to low and let the sauce simmer covered for 1 hour. Add the salt and pepper.
  • While the sauce is cooking bring a large kettle of salted water to a boil. Boil the lasagna noodles for 9 minutes, then drain and rinse well.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place the tofu blocks in a large bowl. Add the garlic, basil and parsley. Add the salt and pepper, and mash all the ingredients together by squeezing pieces of tofu through your fingers. Mix well.
  • Assemble the lasagna: Spread 1 cup of the tomato sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch casserole pan. Arrange a single layer of lasagna noodles, sprinkle one-third of the tofu mixture over the noodles. Distribute the spinach evenly over the tofu. Next ladle 1 1/2 cups tomato sauce over the tofu, and top it with another layer of the noodles. Then sprinkle another 1/3 of the tofu mixture over the noodles, top the tofu with 1 1/2 cups tomato sauce, and place a final layer of noodles over the tomato sauce. Finally, top the noodles with the final 1/3 of the tofu, and spread the remaining tomato sauce over everything.
  • Cover the pan with foil and bake the lasagna for 30 minutes. Serve hot and enjoy.

AMAZING VEGETARIAN OR VEGAN LASAGNA



Amazing Vegetarian or Vegan Lasagna image

This lasagna is low in fat and is much better for you than most lasagna recipes. This recipe started with the back of a lasagna noodle package recipe, but has been altered to a vegetarian or vegan recipe along with other alterations. Many of our friends (most of them not vegetarian or vegan!) request this dish from my husband for get-togethers or parties. It's always gone in minutes. Many times we use fresh Asia Eggplant in place of spinach as it is in abundance here in Asia and in our opinion tastes better.

Time 1h35m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 lasagna noodles (estimate)
1 onion
1 garlic clove, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (19 ounce) can of worthington veggie burgers (you can also use another vegemeat like crumblers or gluten)
1 (26 ounce) can spaghetti sauce (I like Hunt's Garlic and Herb Spaghetti Sauce)
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1 lb firm tofu
1 (300 g) package frozen chopped spinach (or you can substitute fresh asia eggplant our personal favorite, or another type of eggplant)
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or 3/4 cup soy cheese
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast flakes (optional)
parmesan cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook lasagna noodles according to the package directions.
  • Saute onion and garlic in oil until tender. Add vegeburger or gluten.
  • Stir in speggetti sauce and parsley; simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Combine tofu and spinach and yeast flakes (if using eggplant instead, don't combine with tofu. Instead slice eggplant into thin pieces and set aside).
  • Put a thin layer of sauce and vegemeat on the bottom of a Large baking dish (our baking dish was bought in Asia and doesn't have the measurements listed, but it's big).
  • Place on layer of (3-4) noodles (slightly overlapped) on top of the sauce. Add another layer of sauce (can add a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and now is when you would add some sliced eggplant if you are using it).
  • Repeat the last step until you get to the middle layer (usually there are 3-5 layers total depending on the depth of your pan).
  • In the middle layer the tofu & spinach (or layer the tofu and then add another layer of eggplant on top). Then continue with the previous layering of sauce & vegemeat and noodles.
  • The top layer should be covered in sauce with the Mozzarella or Soy Cheese sprinkled on top.
  • Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees F or 180 degrees Celsius.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables to add flavor and texture to your lasagna. Some good options include spinach, kale, mushrooms, zucchini, and eggplant.
  • If you are using fresh spinach, be sure to wilt it before adding it to the lasagna. This will help to remove excess moisture and prevent the lasagna from becoming too watery.
  • To make a vegan lasagna, use dairy-free cheese and milk. There are many different brands of vegan cheese available, so be sure to choose one that you like the taste of.
  • If you are short on time, you can use no-boil lasagna noodles. These noodles are pre-cooked, so you can simply add them to the lasagna without boiling them first.
  • To make your lasagna ahead of time, assemble it and then freeze it. When you are ready to serve it, simply thaw it overnight in the refrigerator and then bake it according to the recipe instructions.

Lasagna is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are a vegetarian, vegan, or meat-eater, there is a lasagna recipe out there that you will love. So next time you are looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give one of these lasagna recipes a try.
