Spinach & Tomato Lasagna

Filling:
1 Tbsp. or so dried basil & italian herbs (eyeball it)
1 (15-ounce) carton fat-free ricotta cheese
1 (12.3-ounce) package reduced-fat firm tofu, drained

Remaining ingredients:
2 Jars Spaghetti Sauce (we like Bertolli, Newman's own and Barilla)
Cooking spray
12 Barilla no-boil lasagna noodles
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded sharp provolone cheese
1 cup (2 ounces) grated fresh Romano or Parmesan cheese
2 packages frozen chopped spinach

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

To prepare filling, combine basil, ricotta, and tofu in a bowl; mash ricotta mixture with a potato masher.

Spread 2 cups sauce in bottom of a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Arrange 3 noodles over sauce; top with 1 cup filling, 1 cup provolone cheese, 1/3 cup Romano, all of the spinach and 1-1/2 cups sauce. Repeat layers (excluding the spinach which you already used up), ending with noodles. Spread remaining sauce over noodles (about 1 1/2 cups). Sprinkle with remaining provolone cheese (if you have any left) and remaining 1/3 cup Romano. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

YIELD: 8 servings

This meal makes great leftovers (something DH and i like a lot). It feeds us for about 4 days .

This sounds so good! We were just looking for some yummy tofu recipes!

Tofu is great in anything that calls for creaminess. It doesn't have much flavor on its own and absorbs the flavor of whatever its with - which makes it perfect for both sweet and savory dishes. I have seen it used in desserts like cream pies before.
