Easy Vegan Tofu Lasagna is a delicious high-protein dinner! With garlic, mushrooms, onions, spinach, and spices this lasagna is great to meal prep.

I’ve always loved lasagna- making it at home or having it at a restaurant. There is something awesome about layers of pasta, vegetables, and cheese together as one. This veganized version uses soft tofu in place of the ricotta, and let me tell you, you won’t miss the cheese one bit!

I was absolutely amazed and the texture that soft tofu gives to the filling in this lasagna! It is a super high protein alternative to ricotta, and takes on any flavors or spices that you put in to it. When layered with pasta, rich homemade tomato sauce, and vegetables, you can’t go wrong with tofu.

For a sauce, I use my absolutely BEST 5 Ingredient Tomato Sauce… its so good I could eat that stuff plain with a spoon. But it tastes great in this lasagna, tucked in between noodles and filling. The tomato sauce gives the lasagna a nice sweetness and welcome acidity in each bite.

How Do I Make Vegan Tofu Lasagna?

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the lasagna noodles and cook according to package directions. Drain, and set aside.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a sauce pan, heat the olive oil on low. Add the garlic and onions, and sauté for 6 to 7 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the mushrooms and sauté for an additional 5 minutes with the lid on. Stir in the tomato sauce, and allow too gently simmer on the stove.
In a large bowl, add the tofu, parsley, spinach, garlic powder, and Italian seasonings. Use your hands to mash all the ingredients together until the mixture resembles a ricotta-like texture.
Grease a large 13×9 baking dish, and begin to layer the ingredients. A scoop of tomato sauce on the bottom, layer of noodles, layer of tofu spinach mixture, and another layer of sauce. Layer in this order until the dish is full (I had about 3 layers in mine).
Top with sea salt and pepper, and vegan cheese if desired.
Bake for about 30-35 minutes until vegan cheese melts on top and the sauce is bubbling up on the sides.

Remove from oven, and enjoy!
