Directions
- To make tomato sauce, heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until very soft, about 8 minutes. Stir in garlic, oregano and basil and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add tomatoes and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Cook spinach according to package directions, cool and squeeze out excess moisture. Set aside.
- Crumble drained tofu into a large bowl. Stir in ricotta and egg; stir until well combined. Stir in Parmigiano-Reggiano and 1-1/2 cups mozzarella cheese. Stir in salt and pepper.
- To assemble lasagna, cover bottom of a 13-by-9-inch baking dish with half the tomato sauce. Arrange 3 noodles on top of sauce. Cover noodles with half the red bell peppers. Cover with half the spinach. With the back of a spoon, gently spread half the cheese mixture on top of the spinach. Top with another layer of pasta and remaining peppers, spinach and cheese mixture. Cover with remaining 3 noodles. Spread remaining tomato sauce over the top. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Uncover and sprinkle remaining mozzarella evenly over the top. Continue to bake until cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Let rest 15 minutes before serving.
