    Think you don't like tofu? It tastes just like ricotta cheese in this healthy and fabulous dish. Peggy Kern - Riverside, California

    Ingredients:
    • 1-3/4 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
    • 1/4 cup chopped onion
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
    • 2 garlic cloves, minced
    • 2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) diced tomatoes, undrained
    • 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
    • 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
    • 2 tablespoons minced fresh basil or 2 teaspoons dried basil
    • 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
    • 9 uncooked lasagna noodles
    • 1 package (14 ounces) firm tofu, drained and cubed
    • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
    • 2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
    • 1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded mozzarella-flavored soy cheese
    • 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar-flavored soy cheese

    Directions:
    1. In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, saute mushrooms and onion in oil until tender. Add spinach and garlic; cook 2 minutes longer. Stir in the tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, basil and marjoram. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    2. Meanwhile, cook lasagna noodles according to package directions; drain.

    3. In a small bowl, combine the tofu, eggs, parsley, salt and pepper. Place three noodles in the bottom of a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Layer with half of the tofu mixture, 1-1/2 cups spinach mixture, 1/2 cup mozzarella-flavored soy cheese and 1/3 cup cheddar-flavored soy cheese. Repeat layers. Top with remaining noodles and spinach mixture; sprinkle with remaining cheeses.

    4. Cover and bake at 375° for 35-40 minutes or until heated through. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.
