Vegan Lasagna, Version I

1. 1

   Make the sauce: In a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the onions to the saucepan and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 5 minutes more.

2. 2

   Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, and parsley to the saucepan. Stir well, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the sauce simmer for 1 hour. Add the salt and pepper.

3. 3

   While the sauce cooks, bring a large kettle of salted water to a boil. Boil the lasagna noodles for 9 minutes, then drain and rinse well.

4. 4

   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

5. 5

   Place the tofu blocks in a large bowl. Add the garlic, basil, and parsley. Add the salt and pepper, then mash everything together by squeezing pieces of tofu through your fingers. Mix well.

6. 6

   Assemble the lasagna: Spread 1 cup of the tomato sauce over the bottom of a 9x13 inch casserole pan. Arrange a single layer of lasagna noodles, then sprinkle one-third of the tofu mixture over the noodles. Distribute the spinach evenly over the tofu. Ladle 1 1/2 cups tomato sauce over the tofu, then top with another layer of noodles. Sprinkle another one-third of the tofu mixture over the noodles, top the tofu with 1 1/2 cups tomato sauce, and place a final layer of noodles over the sauce. Finally, top the noodles with the remaining one-third of the tofu and spread the remaining tomato sauce over everything.
