Ingredients
- 10 oz lasagna noodles ready to bake variety
Tomato Sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ yellow onion finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- 28 oz crushed tomatoes canned
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tbsp dried basil
- 1 tsp salt
Tofu Ricotta
- 20 oz extra firm tofu
- ½ cup nutritional yeast
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp Tahini
- ⅔ cup almond milk
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Heat olive oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, and tomato paste and cook for 5 minutes until onions are softened and fragrant. Add the crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, and salt, and cook for a further 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add the extra firm tofu, nutritional yeast, apple cider vinegar, tahini, and almond milk to a blender or food processor.
- Blend on a low speed for a few seconds until well combined.
- Transfer the tofu ricotta to a frying pan over medium heat and add the spinach leaves. Sauté for 1–2 minutes or until the spinach wilts, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Arrange a single layer of lasagna noodles on the bottom of the pan. Spread ½ of the tofu ricotta and spinach mixture evenly on top of the noodles. Add a few spoonfuls of tomato sauce and spread evenly across the filling. Top with another layer of lasagna noodles.
- Repeat with another layer of ricotta-spinach mixture, sauce, and noodles. Spread a thick layer of tomato sauce over the top of the lasagna. (You may have some extra sauce leftover.)
- Bake for 50–60 minutes.
Notes
- If desired, you can melt some vegan mozzarella on top of the lasagna or sprinkle with vegan parmesan for serving.
