Recipe Notes
*You can use any pasta; however, this brand is gluten-free and vegan. It also has a nice amount of protein and fiber, which makes it more of a complete meal. These lasagna noodles are also ones that do not need to be pre-cooked, which saves time.
**Regular firm tofu can also be used. This creates the "ricotta."
***If the tofu ricotta is too thick and will not blend properly, add in a few tablespoons of vegetable broth or almond milk to thin out. Do this by 1 tablespoon at a time, as you don't want the recipe to become runny.
****I prefer this brand since there are simple ingredients. You can also use homemade pasta sauce too or any other brand. Typically, I use the full 2 jars. If you like more sauce on your lasagna, plan to reheat  it or will be hot holding on a serving line, I would grab 3 and add in a little extra sauce within the layers so it does not dry out.
--> Optional Ingredients: You can barely see or taste the spinach, so I always add it to boost the nutritional content. I would highly suggest putting the spinach in the food processor versus throwing in the loose leaves.
-->For the layers, I just estimated the amount of sauce and ricotta. Typically, I just scoop and spread in an even layer until the noodles are covered. You can totally pack the layers more and do less "noodles,"  or add more sauce. It really is up to your preference.
