Tofu Lasagna

[Guest guest]

This is the fabulous tofu lasagna recipe that I found, I believe, in a

Good Housekeeping magazine many years ago. The original recipe calls

for 1/4 lb butter, but I reduced the butter to just a pat and

" sweated " the mushrooms. Delicious.

 

Tofu Lasagna

 

 

 

Makes 8 servings.

1 tsp + butter

 

½ lb. fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced

½ lb. low-fat mozzarella cheese shredded (2 cups)

 

¼ cup parsley, fresh, chopped

 

8 oz. lasagna noodles, cooked and drained

1. Melt butter in large skillet.

2. Add and coat mushrooms, garlic, salt and pepper. Cover skillet

with wax paper and then skillet pan cover. Lower light to " sweat "

mushrooms about 5 minutes

3. Stir in spaghetti sauce and wheat germ. Heat through.

5. Repeat.

6. End with 1/3 of lasagna noodles.

7. Pour over 1/3 of sauce.

Enjoy

Thanks, Diane, I've put it in the Files. That does look like a lot of

mozzarella, but I took to account that it was low-fat cheese you specified

and that the dish served eight people . . . . So it's rather 'borderline'

for this group LOL but there anyway

 

Love, Pat
