What's a great vegetarian lasagna recipe?

I don't normally follow a strict recipe but just 'wing it'. I use soft tofu mixed with fresh herbs (typically Oregano, Thyme, Basil and Parsley) instead of Ricotta and Firm tofu mixed with some Nutritional Yeast instead of the other cheeses. I also add layers of sauteed onion, bell peppers and chopped spinach. Cover the whole thing with regular jarred Tomato sauce and bake. Very low in fats, high in protein and vitamins and so tasty you'll never notice there is no meat or dairy present!

INGREDIENTS:


9 cooked lasagna noodles


2 c sauce


15 oz. ricotta cheese


1/2 c parmesan cheese


2 c shredded mozzarella cheese


1 zucchini, sliced


1/2 lb. mushrooms, sliced


1 small package of frozen spinach, thawed and liquid squeezed out





--------------------------------------鈥?br>




DIRECTIONS:


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.


cook noodles according to package directions and set aside. Heat sauce.


Meanwhile, prepare your veggies..slice zucchini, slice mushrooms, and squeeze spinach dry to remove water.


In the bottom of the baking pan place a 1/4 c sauce, begin layering with your noodles on the bottom (3 noodles to a layer).


Next, Spoon 9 teaspoons of ricotta, a handful of mozerella, sprinkle with parmesan, layer your veggies on top of the cheese mix and top with sauce. Then, add another layer of noodles and continue layering as above until you have made 3 layers of noodles veggies and cheese. On the top layer add the last 3 noodles and top with sauce and a little mozzarella and parmesan cheese.


Bake lasagna for 45 minutes, remove from oven and let it sit for at least 15 minutes. If you don't let it sit it will turn out to be a sloppy mess!


This recipe can be doubled. I cut this recipe down for my son and girlfriend so it comes about to about 4 servings.
I have a good one for you that involves eggplant and zuccinia and yellow squash. Cut them in to strips and make each one a layer, like one layer zuc, one layer eggplant and so on. make lasagna like you normaly would just use the veggis instead of the pasta and the meat. It is great, really, still use the chesse though.

take any vegetarian lasagna recipe and exchange tofu for meat
use aubergine instead of meat.
