Re: Veg Lasgna ?

hey redj

I just use a regular ‘meat’ recipe but substitute grilled tofu for the meat - my trick is to grill it up nice an spicy beforehand, w/some onion, garlic, worcestershire, salt, peppa, whatever you like - almost the same seasonings used for meat; makes it taste so much better than the plain bland tofu alone

Then I layer it in deh like regular, with the noodles and sauce; I also add in a layer of portabello mushrooms (also pre-seasoned or grilled if you like), and a next layer of ricotta cheese mixed with grated parmigiana, or pecorino (much more flavorful than parmigiana) - I stay well away from the broccoli and carrot thing, I hate that in a lasagne,

this make a really hearty and filling lasagne…….. even my most die hard “don’t eat from anyone’ friends come over for this, AND take a plate home!
