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 tablespoon�olive oil�

6 garlic cloves�, minced

1/4 teaspoon�red pepper flakes�

Table salt and ground black pepper�

1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes�

3 cups�water�

12 ounces�ziti�(3 3/4 cups)

1/2 cup�heavy cream�

1/2 cup�grated Parmesan cheese�

1/4 cup�minced fresh basil leaves�

1 cup�shredded mozzarella cheese�

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 sauté 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.
