- Comments
- This is a great basic lasagne -- my roommate and I created a variation
by adding a layer to the assembly: We marinated a (10 or 12-ounce?)
package of tofu in vegetarian boullion for an hour, then food-processed
it with a pound of spinach. This made a wonderful ricotta-like filling
to layer in the lasagne, and could be used for other filled pastas,
such as stuffed shells or manicotti.
