Ingredients

  • 1 container soft (silken) tofu 
  • 1 container extra firm tofu 
  • 1/4cup soy milk (organic GMO-free if possible) 
  • 1/2tsp freshly crushed or dried garlic powder 
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice 
  • 3 tbsp fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped 
  • 1 tsp dried mixed Italian herbs 
  • 2 packets frozen spinach, thawed and excess water removed 
  • 1L organic tomato passata sauce 
  • 1 large packet fresh or dried lasagne sheets (can replace with gluten free sheets if preferred) 
  • 1 tsp Himalayan or Celtic sea salt 
  • 2 tbsp of nutritional yeast to serve 

Method
  1. Place all the ingredients except for the nutritional yeast, tomato sauce, spinach and lasagne sheets into a large bowl and mash together thoroughly with a fork. 
  2. Alternatively, you can place all these ingredients into a food processor and process for approximately 30 seconds until roughly combined. 
  3. Place about a cup of the tomato sauce in the bottom of your slow cooker. 
  4. Then place 1/3 of the lasagne sheets on top of the sauce, and 1/3 of the tofu and spinach mixture on top of the lasagne sheets. 
  5. Repeat these layers, being sure to end with sauce on top. 
  6. Cook on the lowest heat setting for 6-8 hours until the lasagne sheets are soft. 
  7. Sprinkle over the nutritional yeast just before serving.
