Ingredients

  • 1 box frozen chopped spinach, thawed, pressed and drained

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried minced onion
  • 1/4 cup silken tofu
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese or soy parmesan substitute, divided
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 2 jars (26 ounces each) marinara sauce
  • 1 package (9 ounces) no-boil lasagna noodles
  • 16 ounces mozzarella cheese or soy mozzarella, grated

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine spinach with soft tofu, garlic and onion. Add silken tofu, ¼ cup parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.

  3. In a 9×13 inch pan lightly coated with nonstick spray, pour a bit of marinara sauce to cover bottom of pan.

  4. Lay 4 of the lasagna noodles in bottom of pan, overlapping slightly.

  5. Spread half of the tofu mixture over top, covering completely.
