TOFU BASIL RICOTTA
From my new FAVORITE cookbook: Veganomicon. This is an amazing vegan filling for stuffed shells, manicotti, lasagna or topping pizza or pasta. Simple to make, possibilities are endless!! The best tools for this one are clean hands. They are the most effective for squishing the tofu to "ricotta-like" consistency. The recipe listed below is enough for one(1) layer in a 9x13 lasagna pan. Can be doubled if you like more "cheese" in your lasagna layers.

- To make the tomato sauce, heat a large sauce pan over medium and sauté onion in 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil for 1 to 2 minutes until soft. Add garlic and cook for another 2 minutes. Add tomato paste and herbs and stir sautéing for another 2 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Simmer on low heat for 30 to 45 minutes while you prepare the rest of the components for the lasagna.
- For the tofu ricotta, add crumbled tofu that resembles ricotta cheese to a large mixing bowl with the remaining ingredients, and combine with a fork. Keep in the fridge until you're ready to assemble the lasagna.
- For the bechamel, put all these ingredients in a high-powered blender and combine until very smooth. Set aside while you prepare the vegetables.
- You can make carrot ribbons using a vegetable peeler, or you can shred the carrot with a grater. Partially cook the zucchini and carrot in a pan over low to medium heat with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Set them aside on a dish and use the same pan to cook the spinach. Get it wilted and soft, but don't over cook it. It should still be bright green. If you want to use frozen spinach, just make sure you thaw and drain out the water.

- Assemble the lasagna: Spread 1 scant cup of marinara sauce at the bottom of a 8" x 11" (2L) casserole dish. Add 1 layer of lasagna noodles (I used 3 noodles per layer). Next, spread half of the vegan ricotta. It doesn't have to be perfectly spread. Top with 1 small handful of spinach. Add a second layer of lasagna noodles, then spread 1 scant cup of marinara sauce. Add a third layer of lasagna noodles, followed by the other half of the ricotta. Add another small handful of spinach. Finally, add one last layer of lasagna noodles and top it with the remaining marinara sauce.

- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook lasagna according to package instructions. After cooking, drain and rinse in cool water. Carefully separate lasagna sheets to make sure they aren’t sticking together. Set aside.

After the spinach has cooled some, drain as much liquid out as you can, and pat dry with a clean towel or some paper towels. Set aside in a large mixing bowl.
- To make tofu ricotta, add a package of tofu to a blender or food processor with dried seasoning, garlic powder, salt, fresh lemon juice, and 2 Tbsp of water. Blend until smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, add a little more water, but you don’t want it runny, so go easy.
- To prepare the marinara sauce with veggies, preheat a large saucepan over medium heat. (Note: You can use the same pan used to make the spinach). Add chopped onion, mushrooms, and bell pepper. Dry sauté for 5 minutes or until softened.

- To a food processor**, add the tofu, breaking into pieces while adding. Then add the basil, oregano, garlic powder, nutritional yeast, salt, lemon juice, almond milk, vinegar and maple syrup. Blend until thoroughly combined. If the tofu sticks to the side of the food processor, open the lid, scrape off the sides, and blend again. Don't over-blend.
- This recipe makes 2 cups tofu ricotta cheese (1/4 cup per serving). This ricotta can be used anywhere you would use traditional ricotta, such as in vegan lasagnas, stuffed shells, manicotti, eggplant parmesan, mashed potatoes, (or even pizza, avocado toast, or simply spread on a cracker).

- In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the lasagna noodles according to the directions on the package. Drain the noodles, rinse with cold water to cool, and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, zucchini, mushrooms, and garlic and sauté for about 5 minutes stirring occasionally, until slightly softened. Turn off the heat. Stir in the spinach, cover the skillet, and set aside to allow the spinach to wilt.
- Place the tofu, soy milk, lemon juice, basil, and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. Depending on the size of your food processor, you may need to push everything down with a spoon several times between pulses so all the tofu gets evenly crumbled. When you reach a crumbly ricotta-style consistency, spoon the mixture into a large bowl. Stir in the sautéed vegetables and spinach until evenly combined.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread 1 cup of the marinara sauce evenly across the bottom of a 9 × 13 inch baking dish. Follow this with a layer of 4 overlapping lasagna noodles, then a layer of half of the tofu mixture. Repeat with another 1½ cups of the marinara, another layer of noodles, and the second half of the tofu mixture. End with another 1½ cups of the marinara and a final layer of noodles, and spread the remaining 1 cup of marinara sauce on top, being sure to coat all the noodles.

- Start with the tofu. First we need to prep it and remove excess water. Drain the package of tofu then cut into 5 strips. Lay 2 paper towels (or one clean kitchen towel) on a baking sheet. Place tofu strips on top of paper towels. Lay 2 more paper towels over the tofu. Place another baking sheet (or heavy flat-bottomed object) then a fairly heavy book on top of that (because you don’t want the book to get wet!) and set aside for 30-40 minutes. This absorbs excess water in tofu. Could also use a tofu press if you have one.
- After the tofu has been pressed, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place tofu in a medium-sized bowl and crumble with a fork until it resembles ricotta cheese and all large clumps are crumbled. Mix in all ingredients for tofu ricotta. Taste test and adjust accordingly. Set aside.
- In a 9×13 in baking dish, spread a thin layer of tomato basil marinara sauce (about 1/2-1 cup). Then do one layer of noodles (3-4; depending on the size of your baking dish) one layer of zucchini strips, tofu ricotta, spinach and sauce. Then repeat for 2 more layers, ending with a layer of noodles, then sauce (don’t skimp on the sauce or the noodles will dry out!). Top with breadcrumbs and nutritional yeast.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 50-60 minutes (You want to be sure the zucchini is cooked!).

- Cut the sprouted tofu in half. Soak as much water out from each sprouted tofu half as possible. I use paper towels to squeeze out the water, especially since you don't need to worry about keeping the tofu in tact. Depending on how much water remains in the tofu after squeezing it out, you may or may not need to add additional water into the mix while blending.
- Add the tofu, along with all the other ingredients, except for the additional water, into a food processor.
- Pulse a few times until you come to a thick, yet somewhat smooth consistency. The basil leaves should not be completely blended in and the tofu should not become a puree (in other words, the final mixture should still be white in color from the tofu with the basil very finely chopped and mixed in).
- Feel free to add 1-2 tbsp water if needed for consistency or to aid with the blending process. The final consistency should be a very thick, spreadable mixture and NOT pour-able (if it is, then your mixture contains too much water and/or you blended for too long).
