This is what I'm making for dinner tonight. It's a familiar stand-by for this family, we have it at least once or twice a month.
12 whole wheat lasagne noodles, cooked until tender and drained
1 pkg firm tofu
1 pkg frozen chopped spinach (or use fresh)
2 eggs
1 jar tomato based pasta sauce (or make your own)
1 pile vegetables chopped (use up whatever is in the fridge, but today I'm using cabbage, carrots, zucchini, cauliflower, and green beans)
1/2 block (or more) part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
sprinkle parmesan cheese
Steam veggies or pre-cook them in the microwave. Pre-cook and drain noodles. Mash tofu with a fork or pulse in the food processor for a few seconds. Add eggs and drained spinach and mix. In a 9x13 lasagne pan layer noodles, sauce, veggies, tofu mixture, and cheese until you run out of ingredients or the pan is full. Top with the remaining mozza and sprinkle with parmesan. Bake at 350 for 1 - 1.5 hours until it's bubbly and the cheese is melted and beginning to brown.
saving this in my folder! I am trying to find more meatless meals to keep our grocery spending within our targeted range, but I find it tricky to please a steak and potato type of guy with pasta meals. But this one sounds hearty enough to try out on him : ) thanks for posting!
