I think this is a great place to start for Tofu Lasagna! Just to be clear, I used this recipe as a base because I could not find the last recipe I used. I used fresh Arugula instead of Spinach and added wine instead of water to deglaze the pan. I didn't use any parsley as I was using a store-bought sauce (Prego) and figured that would take care of most of the seasoning. I also used no-boil pasta (mostly because it was easier) and everything turned out great.

This was yummy. Because of previous reviews, I used a flavoured tomato sauce with basil and only 4 1/2 cups of it, added 1/4 c chopped fresh basil, and seasoned my layers with freshly ground pepper. I substituted cottage for ricotta since that was what I had, and used close to a pound of mozza. I also did my cheese & spinach layer in the food processor so it was all a nice consistency. The dish seemed a bit watery when I first took it out of the oven but set beautifully with pretty layers overnight in the fridge.

I prepared this for one of my Christmas dinner dishes. I omitted tofu for the non-vegetarians in my family. It was a hit for my family who are used to me preparing lasagna with meat.

My 2 year old LOVES this stuff, go figure. I did make changes though: 1) saute misc garden veggies together(onion, zucchini, mushrooms) plus garlic in olive oil, and then add tomato sauce, let simmer. 2) Added a little extra tomato sauce too.

This is a good recipe but I had to make 2 changes out of necessity. Instead of the tomato sauce I used a can of diced tomatos - italian style and stirred that into a little spaghetti sauce. I also omitted the tofu - husband not a fan. Great way to get veggies into a kid's diet, though.

This lasagna was AMAZING! Ok, so I did change things. I think "tomato sauce" really means "spaghetti sauce" in this recipe, so that's what I used. My guess is that the people who thought it was bland used plain tomato sauce. (If you use plain tomato sauce you'll want to add some sugar and Italian seasonings to make up the difference.) I also added a zucchini, a yellow squash, and a portabello mushroom, all chopped and saulted with the onions and garlic and added to the cheese mixture. I used more parsley than the recipe called for. I didn't have fresh parsley so I was using dry. Normally with dry you want to use less, but I decided to throw in 1/4 cup. My casserole dish was overflowing before I'd used all of the ingredients, so I didn't get a chance to use all of the tomato sauce. Even so there was a lot of extra liquid once I cut out the first piece. No harm done, but I'll probably cook the spinach first, like other people suggested and drain off all of the extra liquid. Oh and one last thing. 1.5lbs of spinach seemed like a ton so I only ended up using half. I definitely recommend chopping it first. When chopping greens a good hint is to put them in a glass measuring cup (or similarly shaped container) and use kitchen scissors to chop them up (the scissors should point into the container). Enjoy!

This lasagna was well-liked by my discerning tasters. A few things I changed: Left the foil off, and it turned out fine (there was plenty of water that needed evaporating), added some sauteed veggies that i mixed in with the spinach/ricotta portion (carrots, mushrooms, peppers), and added more spice. Tasted even better the next day!!

this was pretty good, tho i should have heeded other reviewer's advice about adding more spices and maybe cutting up the spinach. i thought it could have been a little hotter when it came out of the oven, too, but no one else complained. so overall, quite tasty and good for you.
