Hummus in my lasagna? Say it isn’t so.
Yes, it’s true.
Quit freaking out… It’s good…
And surprisingly creamy.
A closer look at how this goes down….
Crumble your pressed tofu.
Grab your hummus, nutritional yeast, and garlic.
Pile it in with your tofu.
Add basil, onion powder and salt. Teaspoon of each.
Mix it up.
Grab your spinach.
Fine chop it by hand or take the easy route and use the food processor.
Add your hummus/tofu mixture to your food processor bowl.
Layer up your dish with your cooked noodles and spinach/tofu mixture. Bake.
Finished product is filled with awesomesauce.
Whole Wheat Hummus Lasagna
Ingredients
- 1 box whole wheat lasagna noodles
- 1 lb extra firm tofu, drained and pressed (remember my tofu post on buying the right tofu so that you actually like the outcome of a recipe?)
- 1- 8oz tub hummus
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
- 1-5 oz bag baby spinach, chopped
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 2- 26 oz jar of marinara sauce
Directions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Cook your lasagna noodles according to package directions until they’re a tad underdone (mine took about 7-8 minutes).
- In a large bowl, crumble tofu with your hands.
- Add in hummus, garlic, nutritional yeast, garlic, onion powder, salt and basil. Mix with a large wooden spoon to incorporate.
- Use you food processor to fine chop your 5 oz package of spinach.
- Add your hummus/tofu mixture to your food processor bowl and pulse for 20-30X. Do not process, make sure you “pulse” because you still want it to be a tad chunky…
- In a pre-sprayed 9×13 inch baking dish, pour in enough sauce to cover the bottom. Layer lasagna noodles on top. Top the noodles with spoon drops of the hummus/spinach mixture. Lightly spread the mixture onto the noddles to cover. Add more sauce, then noodles, then hummus/tofu mixture until your last layer is a creamy mixture of sauce and hummus. ***Don’t be afraid that there is too much sauce, this will help “meld” the flavors together during cooking.***
- Tightly cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 5-10 minutes more.
- Allow it to sit for 20 minutes to set.
- Enjoy!
