For the lasagna:

  • 12 whole grain lasagna noodles

  • 1 medium zucchini, chopped (optional)
  • 8 oz pkg sliced mushrooms

  3. Place drained and pressed tofu in a large bowl. Crumble with hands. Add hummus, nutritional yeast, basil, salt, and garlic powder. Stir together with your hands until it’s semi-smooth and resembles ricotta.
  4. Place about 1 1/2 cups of marinara in the bottom of a 9x13in baking dish. Top with 4 noodles. Next add half of the ricotta mixtureand half of the vegetable mixture. Top with a heaping 1 1/2 cups or more of sauce. Repeat with more noodles, tofu mixture, and veggies. Then top with one last layer of noodles and another 1 1/2 cups or more of sauce. Top with a sprinkle of nutritional yeast.
