SPINACH AND TOFU LASAGNA
I've been working on this one for a couple of years and I think that I finally have it right. Most of the recipes I had tried and failed before were because as DH said, "Where did all the flavor go?" This disappears fast in my house now. I'm posting this here because the paper that I have the recipe written on got dunked in the sauce last time.
