Ingredients

• 9-12 full lasagna noodles (precooked or no-boil variety—we buy our packages for $2/each here)
• 2 cups regular cottage cheese
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan
• 2 whole eggs
• 2 cups fresh spinach (cooked and squeezed dry, so really about a full bag of pre-washed spinach leaves before cooking)
• 1 cup firm tofu (crumbled)
• 3 cups marinara sauce (opt for a low-sugar variety or a high-protein version for the most powerful recipe—we use this $2 jar)
• 3 tsp seasonings of choice (we prefer garlic powder, Italian herbs, salt and pepper)

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• In a bowl, mix ricotta, eggs, spinach, tofu, Parmesan cheese and your preferred seasonings.
• Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce at the bottom of a baking dish.
• Layer noodles, ricotta mixture, sauce and shredded mozzarella. Repeat until full, finishing with mozzarella on top (feel free to shove a little in your mouth as necessary).
• Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 15 minutes until golden and bubbly.
• Let it rest about 10 minutes before serving and then enjoy sprinkled with fresh herbs and additional parmesan cheese.
