Instructions
Tofu Ricotta Cheese
- Soak cashews overnight, or for at least 4 hours. To save time you can also boil them for 10 minutes.
- Chop tofu up into small cubes.
- Add all ingredients to a food processor or high powered blender. Blend until smooth, this can take up to 10 minutes. Stop to scrape down sides occasionally.
- Store in an airtight container. Set aside to use in the lasagna later.
Spinach & Tofu Ricotta Lasagna
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Mix the tomato basil pasta sauce with condensed tomato soup in a large bowl.
- Coat the bottom of a small casserole dish (I used a 9x9 pan) with the sauce mixture.
- Make a layer of three noodles. Lasagna noodles were too long for my pan so I had to break the ends off. I used the broken off pieces to fill spaces around the edges of the pan.
- Top lasagna noodles with globs of tofu ricotta. Spread it out as much or as little as you'd like.
- Top the tofu ricotta with about 1 - 2 tbsp pesto.
- Top with a layer of chopped spinach. Then cover with more pasta sauce.
- Create another layer of three lasagna noodles and repeat toppings. Noodles, ricotta, pesto, spinach, sauce, noodles. I made 4 layers in my pan but you can try more or less.
- Top the last noodle layer with pasta sauce and cheese shreds mixed with chopped spinach. Sprinkle parsley flakes on top.
- Cover with tinfoil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove tin foil and bake for another 20 minutes. Broil on 420 for the last 5 minutes to make the cheese nice and melty.
- Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes before cutting and serving.
