Simple Tofu Ricotta Lasagna, a Meatless Monday Meal ready in under an hour!
Tofu replaces the cheese in this lasagna making it vegan friendly. I kept it simple this time around and only added spinach and basil, but you can add any veggies you want! Zucchini, mushrooms or peppers would all make a great addition!
Tofu ricotta is a mixture of crumbled tofu, garlic, lemon juice, sea salt and nutritional yeast. Even my non-liking tofu tike liked this dish! However, I told a little white lie and said it was cheese
For convenience I used organic jarred marinara sauce, but feel free to make your own! One of my favorite marinara recipes comes from Giada, it sneaks in an extra serving of veggies from added celery and carrots!
The original recipe came from Whole Foods.
For a gluten free version: Try using zucchini lasagna noodles! Just take two large zucchinis, slice thin the long way, sprinkle with a little sea salt to pull out extra moisture and use in place of lasagna noodles! Increase cook time if needed until zucchini is tender.
This was a lot for our little family of three, so I froze half of it for later use! For next time I will just thaw, add a little more sauce on top and bake until warmed through!
