*Click on the link for the Easy Homemade Pasta Sauce recipe here, it takes only 15-20 minutes to prepare. Prepare the sauce and cool slightly. Or save some time and buy a low-sodium pasta sauce.
1. Preheat the oven to 350 F and spray a 13 X 9 baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. Blend the low-fat ricotta, tofu and salt in a blender or immersion blender and set aside.
3. Begin to layer the lasagna. Get your kids involved if possible!
- Spread 3/4 cup of pasta sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish
- Then, place 3 sheets of uncooked pasta on top of the sauce, side by side (not overlapping)
- Spread 2/3 cup of the ricotta/tofu mixture evenly over the pasta
- Then, spread another 3/4 cup of pasta sauce of the pasta, covering it completely
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese over the top of the sauce
Repeat these steps two times. Place the rest of the sauce on top, the remaining mozzarella cheese, and all of the Parmesan cheese.
4. Cover the lasagna with foil sprayed with oil. Bake 25 minutes, then uncover and bake another 15-20 minutes or until the top is lightly browned. Let the lasagna stand a few minutes before cutting.
