Ingredients List
-
1 onion, chopped
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
-
3 tablespoons water
-
1 pint part-skim ricotta cheese
-
1 pound firm tofu, crumbled
-
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1 ½ pounds fresh spinach, washed and chopped
-
2 egg whites, beaten
-
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
2 ½ tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

8 lasagna noodles

6 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded

6 cups tomato sauce
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain them and set aside. In a pan, sauté the onions and garlic in olive oil, adding water as needed to prevent sticking.
-
In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, crumbled tofu, Parmesan, spinach, egg whites, black pepper, parsley, and the sautéed onions and garlic. Mix everything thoroughly.
-
Lightly spray a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray. Lay down a layer of cooked noodles at the bottom. Spread a third of the ricotta mixture, mozzarella, and tomato sauce on top. Repeat the layers two more times, finishing with a final layer of tomato sauce. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until bubbly and golden.
