Ingredients

8 ounces mushrooms, chopped

cup zucchini, chopped

16 ounces tofu

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes

1 teaspoon Italian herb seasoning

teaspoon black pepper

cup water

4 cups fat-free marinara sauce

8 ounces lasagna noodles, uncooked

4 ounces Mozzarella-style soy cheese, grated

cup Parmesan-style soy cheese

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 .

Saute the mushrooms and zucchini in a nonstick skillet until tender, adding a little water if needed. Set aside.

Mash the tofu in a small mixing bowl. Add the lemon juice, dried parsley flakes, Italian herb seasoning and pepper. Mix well.

Combine the water and marinara sauce. (The extra water will be absorbed by the uncooked noodles.)

Assemble the lasagna: Put about 1/3 of the sauce on the bottom of a 9" x 13" baking dish. Top with half the uncooked noodles, half the tofu mixture, half the Mozzarella-style soy cheese, and all of the mushrooms and zucchini. Put another 1/3 of the sauce on top, the remaining noodles, the remaining tofu and then the last 1/3 of the sauce. Top with the remaining Mozzarella and Parmesan soy cheeses.

Cover the casserole with foil. Bake at 350 for one hour. Remove from oven and let sit 10-15 minutes to make serving easier. Cut lasagna into 18 pieces (3 x 6).
