10 oz Noodles, lasagna, artichoke
1 tsp Olive oil
TOFU RICOTTA
1 lb Tofu, firm
2 tbsp Oil, olive, extra virgin
Ground rock salt to taste
1/4 tsp Nutmeg, freshly grated OR
1/2 tsp Nutmeg, ground
VEGETABLE FILLING
2 Garlic cloves, crushed in 4 T olive oil
1 large Zucchini, cut in 1/8-inch thick lengthwise slices (app. 3 cups)
1 1/2 tsp Basil, dried
1 1/2 Oregano, dried
1/2 tsp Paprika, sweet Hungarian
Ground rock salt
Freshly ground pepper
3 cup Mushrooms, stems removed; caps thinly sliced
10 oz Spinach, frozen, chopped
32 oz Spaghetti sauce, vegetarian
Prepare lasagna noodles. Bring water to boil in a large pot and add
pasta and olive oil. Return to a boil and simmer, stirring once or
twice to prevent sticking. Cook for time indicated on package for al
dente consistency. Drain, rinse thoroughly under cold water, and lay
out on clean towels. Cover with a towel to prevent drying.
Prepare ricotta. Crumble three-fourths of the tofu (12 oz) in a food
processor or blender. Add oil, salt and nutmet. Process only until
mixture is slightly lumpy. Finely crumble remaining tofu into mixture
and set aside.
Using 1 tablespoon of the garlic oil for each batch, cook zucchini in
a single layer in several batches, in a large skillet. Sprinkle each
batch of zucchini generously with basil, oregano, paprika, salt and
pepper. If the slices are thin enough, you will not need to turn
them. Saute until bright green and tender-crisp. Remove from skillet
and set aside.
Add remaining 1 tablespoon garlic oil to skillet. Toss in mushrooms
and saute until tender and slightly brown on edges. Remove from
skillet and set aside.
Steam spinach until defrosted. Squeeze to remove excess water and set
aside.
Preheat oven to 350. Lightly brush a shallow 9 x 13-inch baking dish
with olive oil. Place a scant ladle of spaghetti sauce in dish and
spread over bottom. Put a layer of 3 noodles on top of the sauce.
Cover with a thick masking or ricotta. Top with layers of zucchini,
mushrooms, spinach and salt and pepper to taste. Repeat layers of
spaghetti sauce, pasta, ricotta, zucchini, mushrooms, spinach and
seasonings twice more, reserving 3 lasagna noodles, 1/2 to 3/4 cup
ricotta, and 2 tablespoons spaghetti sauce for final layer.
End with a final pasta layer, a masking of ricotta, and a thin
brushing of spaghetti sauce. Dust with basil, oregano and paprika.
Cover with foil. Bake 45 minutes, then cool a few minutes before
cutting. Serve hot.

Losing weight
If you enjoy your food, but want to become slim and also better your general healthfulness, then, as any doctor will tell you, you ought to commence a meticulously configured healthy-minded meal plan. Ideally, this must contain 5 standard portions of fruit & vegetables each day and incorporate the correct blend of crucial nutrients.
When devising a daily routine, the most important step is to attempt to cut back on your intake of refined carbohydrate, salt and fats.
When buying food, dieters usually concentrate on chain store and big brand foods labelled 'low fat'. This is ordinarily wrong, in that a food product may be lowered in fat content, but nevertheless contain excess calories and carbs.
Drink plenty of water. Now and then at some stage in a normal morning, you consider you feel hunger when in reality you may simply need a cool glass of water or orange juice. The feelings of hunger and needing a drink are quite similar, but one of the two results in weight gain and the other leads to no damage.
Instead of dwelling on those junk foods that you need to ban from your diet, look at the sensible foods that you should bring into your meal plan. If you manage to insert the recommended portions nutritious fruit & veg into your meal plan, you will find that you feel full and have a far decreased likelihood of being seduced by those unwholesome mid-afternoon biscuits.
