Tomato Basil Lasagna

 

This gluten-free recipe has the taste and texture of old-fashioned lasagna with a healthier twist thanks to the added vegetables.

 

Makes 4-6 servings.

    Ingredients

    • 6-8 gluten-free lasagna noodles
    • 2 Tbsp (30 ml) canola oil
    • 1 package (300 g) extra firm tofu
    • 2 cups (500 ml) fresh tomatoes, diced
    • 2 cups (500 ml) tomato sauce (ensure it’s gluten-free)
    • 1/2 cup (125 ml) fresh basil, chopped
    • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into long, thin strips, kind of like lasagna noodles
    • 1 cup (250 ml) freshly grated parmesan cheese
    • Salt and pepper

    Instructions

    1

    Cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Set aside.

    In large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Crumble in tofu to resemble ground beef. Cook until lightly browned, approximately 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

    3

    Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, and basil to tofu. Stir to combine. Remove from heat.

    4

    Lightly mist a medium-sized casserole dish with cooking oil spray, then spread in 1 to 2 tablespoons of the tomato mixture.

    5

    Cover with 1 layer of lasagna noodles. Top with 1/3 of the tomato-tofu mixture.

    6

    Cover with 1 layer of zucchini strips. Sprinkle with half of the parmesan cheese.

    7

    Cover with 1/3 of the tofu mixture. Cover with 1 layer of lasagna noodles.

    8

    Top with remaining tofu mixture and sprinkle on the remaining cheese.

    9
