Lasagna

Recipe By: Melanie Troxell
Serving Size: 12

Ingredients:

13 ounces whole grain lasagna noodles
45 ounces Ragu Spaghetti Sauce
1 onion, chopped
10 ounces spinach, frozen, thawed, not drained
1 head broccoli florets, just tips cut off
1 cup cashews, raw
1 cup water, hot
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast flakes
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
14 ounces firm tofu, crumbled
1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning

Directions:

Boil lasagna noodles for about half the recommended time and set aside 
(flat). Spread a small amount of spaghetti sauce over the bottom of an 
11x13" casserole dish, then lay a layer or two of the noodles on this.

Combine vegetables and saute in the liquid from the spinach until 
onions are soft. Spread this mixture evenly over the noodles in the 
dish.

Blend cashews, water, onion powder, garlic powder, yeast flakes, lemon 
juice and salt until smooth. Set aside 1/2 cup of this cream sauce.

Crumble tofu and mix with Italian Seasoning and cream sauce from 
above. Spread this mixture evenly over the vegetables and top with 
half the spaghetti sauce. Add remaining noodles for one more layer, 
and then then the remaining spaghetti sauce. Drizzle the remaining 
cream sauce over the top.

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

This i s from Americans Test Kitchen so it is tried and true.  
 
Skillet Baked Ziti 
from the Episode: Easy Skillet Suppers


To complete this recipe in 30 minutes, preheat your oven before assembling your ingredients. If your skillet is not ovensafe, transfer the pasta mixture into a shallow 2-quart casserole dish before sprinkling with the cheese and baking. Packaged pre-shredded mozzarella is a real time-saver here. Penne can also be used here.

Serves 4 1 tablespoonï¿½olive oilï¿½  
6 garlic clovesï¿½, minced  
1/4 teaspoonï¿½red pepper flakesï¿½  
 Table salt and ground black pepperï¿½  
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoesï¿½  
3 cupsï¿½waterï¿½  
12 ouncesï¿½zitiï¿½(3 3/4 cups)  
1/2 cupï¿½heavy creamï¿½  
1/2 cupï¿½grated Parmesan cheeseï¿½  
1/4 cupï¿½minced fresh basil leavesï¿½  
1 cupï¿½shredded mozzarella cheeseï¿½  

Making the Minutes Count: Measure the water and the pasta before you begin cooking. Prep the Parmesan and basil while the pasta cooks.

1. Heat Oven: Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 475 degrees. 

2. Simmer Ziti: Combine oil, garlic, pepper flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in 12-inch, ovensafe nonstick skillet and sautÃ© over medium-high heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add crushed tomatoes, water, ziti, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and cook, stirring often and adjusting heat as needed to maintain vigorous simmer, until ziti is almost tender, 15 to 18 minutes.

3. Add Cheese and Bake: Stir in cream, Parmesan, and basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over ziti. Transfer skillet to oven and bake until cheese has melted and browned, about 10 minutes. Serve.

I would suggest making a fresh garlic bread.
