Ingredients
  • 16-oz silken firm organic tofu (non-GMO)
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese (divided)
  • 1 omega-3 egg
  • 8 oz pesto
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  • 1 ½ 26-oz jars low-sodium spaghetti sauce (Trader Joe's and Market Basket both have good low-salt options; my fav is RAO’s homemade sauce –little more expensive but worth it)
  • 1 8-oz package of Barilla no-boil lasagna noodles
  • 4 cups fresh pre-washed organic baby spinach
  • 2 cups low-fat mozzarella
Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Combine tofu, ¼ cup Parmesan, eggs, pesto, salt and pepper in a blender and pureé. Place pureé in a medium bowl.
  3. Lightly coat a 13 x 9-inch baking dish with vegetable cooking spray.
  4. Spread about 1 cup of tomato sauce at the bottom of the pan.
  5. Arrange one layer of noodles on top.
  6. Spread with half the tofu mixture; top with half of the spinach, a third of the tomato sauce, and a third of the mozzarella. Repeat layers, ending with noodles.
  7. Top with the tomato sauce and sprinkle with mozzarella and ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese
  8. Cover with aluminum foil and bake 30-35 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting.
Denise's Tricks N' Tips
For a non-vegetarian version, sauté sweet turkey sausage (out of the casing) and add to sauce.
