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.

BASIL TOFU RICOTTA
This tofu ricotta rivals it's dairy counterpart. Use it as a delicious addition to a vegan pizza, spread on baked potatoes, mix in with a pasta dish or add spinach and use it as a filling for lasagna.

- 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.

- 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).

- Gather all ingredients. Combine them in your Food Processor or Mixer. Blend everything until smooth and creamy. Your Ricotta is ready to be used – enjoy!If your mixer or food processor isn't the strongest: Mash the ingredients together using the back of a spoon in a bowl beforehand. Mix and mash until all ingredients are incorporated and the mix has a consistency that you're happy with and won't clog your mixer.
- Mash the ingredients together using the back of a potato masher or fork. Mix and mash until all ingredients are incorporated and the whole mix is mainly smooth. It may take a bit longer than with a mixer or food processor. You could also use a fine colander to crumble the tofu into a paste. This will help giving it a more cheese-like consistency.
- You can store the tofu ricotta in a sealed container or airtight zipped plastic bag in the fridge for up to 5-7 days.

- Take the block of tofu out of package and rinse with water. Next, press the liquid out of the tofu by using a tofu press, or by placing the tofu on a plate and carefully stacking more plates on top of it. Make sure the plates are heavy enough to press the liquid out of the tofu. Let it set like this for 10 - 15 minutes.
- Drain and discard the water from the cashews and place the cashews into your food processor, along with the lemon juice, garlic, nutritional yeast, dried oregano, dried basil, onion granules, salt and pepper. Process until there are no chunks of cashews and everything is blended up. Turn off the food processor and scrape down the sides if necessary.

- 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!).
