How to Make Man Friendly Lasagna

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Sauté onion in olive oil until softened. Add garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper; cook for 1 minute more.
  3. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, vegetable broth, and rehydrated TVP. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. In a bowl, gently combine crumbled tofu and vegan ricotta cheese.
  5. Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  6. Layer 3-4 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread half of the tofu mixture over the noodles, followed by half of the remaining tomato sauce.
  7. Repeat layers: noodles, tofu mixture, tomato sauce.
  8. Top with remaining lasagna noodles and sprinkle with vegan mozzarella cheese.
  9. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  10. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil, if desired.
