Steps

1. Prepare the Sauce: In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the minced onions and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
2. Add the stewed tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, and parsley to the saucepan. Stir well, reduce the heat to low, and let the sauce simmer covered for 1 hour. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Cook the Noodles: While the sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles for 9 minutes, then drain and rinse well.
4. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
5. Prepare the Tofu Mixture: In a large bowl, crumble the tofu. Add minced garlic, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mash the ingredients together until well combined.
6. Assemble the Lasagna: Spread 1 cup of the tomato sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch casserole pan. Arrange a layer of lasagna noodles over the sauce. Sprinkle one-third of the tofu mixture over the noodles, followed by an even layer of spinach. Pour 1.5 cups of tomato sauce over the tofu and spinach. Repeat the layers twice more, finishing with a layer of noodles topped with the remaining sauce.
7. Cover the pan with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Serve hot and enjoy your savory herb tofu lasagna!
