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.

VEGAN LASAGNA
This classic vegan lasagna replaces ricotta with a homemade cashew-tofu cream that is easy to prepare and strikes the right balance: Cashews provide richness while tofu keeps things light. This recipe can be modified to fit your schedule. If you're in a hurry, forgo the sauce for three cups of your favorite store-bought marinara, and if you prefer no-boil noodles, they work, too. You could replace the cashew-tofu cream with purchased vegan ricotta, or get ahead on future dinners by doubling the cashew-tofu ricotta and freezing the extra batch. It keeps for up to six weeks in the freezer, and can also be used in stuffed shells and manicotti.

Steps:
- Make the marinara sauce: Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium-high. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until the onion is soft and translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for another minute. Stir in the tomato paste, Italian seasoning and red-pepper flakes, then stir in the diced and crushed tomatoes and sugar, if using. Allow the sauce to come to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 5 minutes, uncovered. Add salt to taste. You can leave the sauce textured or purée it with an immersion blender, depending on your preference. Remove from heat.
- Make the ricotta: Add the cashews and garlic to a food processor and process until the cashews form a coarse meal, about 1 minute. Stop and scrape down the sides of the processor, then turn the processor back on. While it's running, drizzle in 1/2 cup water and the lemon juice. Process until completely smooth and the texture resembles hummus, another 2 minutes.
- Crumble the block of tofu into the processor, add the nutritional yeast, and season with salt and pepper. Continue processing until the mixture is smooth and resembles ricotta, stopping to scrape the sides of the processor as needed, about 1 minute. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
- Assemble the lasagna: Heat the oven to 350 degrees and lightly oil a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish. Bring a large, salted pot of water to boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions, until they're al dente. (Skip this step if you're using no-boil noodles.)
- Layer 1 scant cup marinara sauce at the bottom of your lasagna dish. Cover it with a layer of 3 to 4 lasagna noodles. Cover the noodles with half the vegan ricotta. Cover the ricotta with another layer of noodles, followed by another cup of marinara and the remaining ricotta. Add a final layer of noodles and the remaining marinara sauce. Bake the lasagna for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the marinara on top is dark and the lasagna is bubbling. Top with torn basil leaves, if desired, and serve.
EASY TOFU LASAGNA
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).

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.

- Start preparing your vegan lasagna tofu by pressing and draining your large block of firm tofu to remove the excess water content. We suggest using a tofu press for the best results, but you can also wrap your block of tofu in paper towels and use a heavy kitchen object like a skillet to press out the water. For either method, leave your tofu to drain for at least 20 minutes.
- While your tofu is pressing, you can also start preparing your red lentils. Pour in 1 cup of dried red lentils into a large pot of boiling water. Lower the heat and allow your red lentils to simmer slowly for 20 minutes.
- When your red lentils are cooked, remove them from the water and mix them in a large mixing bowl with 2 large jars’ worth of marinara sauce. Leave to settle on the side while you prepare the rest of the fillings for your vegetarian lasagna tofu.
- While you prepare the cashew and tofu filling in the next stage, you can preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
