Instructions
1
|
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2

Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
3

Place the tofu, olive oil, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning in a large mixing bowl. Mash with your hands until it reaches the consistency of ricotta cheese. Adjust olive oil and seasonings to desired consistency and taste.

Transfer half of the tofu mixture to a food processor or blender. Process on high until very smooth, 2-3 minutes. Gently combine with the tofu in the mixing bowl.

To assemble the lasagna, spoon about a half cup of the marinara sauce into the baking dish to cover the bottom. Place 3-4 lasagna noodles in a single layer over the sauce. Drop 1/3 of the tofu mixture by spoonfuls over the noodles, and gently spread it into an even layer. Place 1/3 of the thawed and drained spinach over the tofu layer. Spoon 1/4 of the remaining marinara sauce on top. Repeat the layering process two more times. Place the last 3-4 lasagna noodles over the top of the dish, and cover with the last 1/4 of the marinara sauce.

Cover the baking dish with a sheet of aluminum foil.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Tofu Press Perfection 🧊Press the tofu for at least 30 minutes before preparing to remove excess moisture, ensuring a firmer texture and better absorption of seasonings.
- Spinach Moisture Management 💧Thoroughly drain and squeeze out excess water from frozen spinach to prevent a watery lasagna and maintain the dish's structural integrity.
- Nutritional Yeast Flavor Boost 🧀Toast the nutritional yeast in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before adding to intensify its cheesy, nutty flavor profile.
- Layer Like a Pro 🥘Create even, thin layers of tofu mixture and marinara sauce to ensure consistent flavor and texture in every bite of the lasagna.
- Lemon Zest Magic 🍋Add fresh lemon zest to the tofu mixture to brighten the flavors and cut through the richness of the dish.
