Everybody's Favorite Lasagna

  5. Spread a layer of tomato sauce in the bottom2 of a 4-quart rectangular baking dish.

  6. Top with a layer of noodles.

  7. Top the noodles with a layer of tofu filling.

  8. Repeat with another layer of noodles and top2 with more sauce.

  9. Add a layer of ground beef alternative or textured vegetable protein, if using.
