No Pasta Vegetable Lasagna Serves: 8 Ingredients For the LASAGNA “NOODLES”: 2 large eggplants, sliced lengthwise 1/4 inch thick 3 small zucchini, slice lengthwise as thinly as possible 3 small yellow squash, slice lengthwise as thinly as possible For the TOFU RICOTTA: 16 ounces silken tofu 1 small onion, cut into quarters 4 cloves garlic, cut in half 1 cup fresh basil leaves 1 1/4 pounds firm tofu, squeezed dry and crumbled 1/4 cup Dr. Fuhrman’s MatoZest, or other no-salt seasoning blend, adjusted to taste 2 tablespoons dried Italian herbs 1 cup grated nondairy mozzarella cheese* For the VEGETABLES: 2 heads broccoli, coarsely chopped 4 cups sliced mixed fresh mushrooms (shiitake, cremini, oyster) 4 medium bell peppers (red, yellow and/or orange) seeded and chopped 7 ounces baby spinach 3 cups pasta sauce, no-salt-added or low sodium, divided shredded fresh basil for garnish Directions To make the lasagna noodles, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Wipe a baking pan with a small amount of olive oil. Place the eggplant, zucchini, and yellow squash in the pan and bake for 10 minutes, or until flexible but not completely cooked.
Work in batches if necessary. Set aside. While the “noodles” are baking, make the tofu “ricotta”.
Puree the silken tofu, onion, and garlic in a food processor or high-powered blender. Add the basil leaves and pulse to coarsely chop. Transfer to a medium bowl and mix in the crumbled firm tofu.
Add the MatoZest, Italian seasoning, and grated nondairy cheese. Set aside. To prepare the vegetables, sauté broccoli, mushrooms, bell peppers and spinach without water, over low heat for 5 minutes, just until tender.
To assemble the lasagna, spread a thin layer of the pasta sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Layer the eggplant slices, sautéed vegetables, yellow squash slices, zucchini slices and tofu “ricotta” and then spread with pasta sauce. Repeat the layers, ending with the tofu “ricotta”.
Spread the remaining pasta sauce on top and bake at 350 degrees, uncovered, for 1 hour, or until hot and bubbly. Garnish with the shredded basil. * Daiya brand is a good choice CALORIES 376; PROTEIN 18g; CARBOHYDRATES 63g; TOTAL FAT 9.8g; SATURATED FAT 1.6g; SODIUM 229mg; FIBER 15g; BETA-CAROTENE 3129mcg; VITAMIN C 213mg; CALCIUM 367mg; IRON 6.1mg; FOLATE 248mcg; MAGNESIUM 167mg; ZINC 2.8mg; SELENIUM 25.8mcg.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
