Black Bean Lasagna
Trisha Yearwood
1 28
oz. can fire-roasted diced tomatoes (I used regular)
1 12
oz. can tomato paste
1 tablespoon
dried oregano leaves
2 teaspoons
sale, plus more for pasta
1/2 teaspoon
black pepper
1/4 teaspoon
garlic powder
1 small
onion, finely chopped
2 15
oz. cans black beans, rinsed and drained
8 ounces
lasagna noodles
1 recipe
Tofu Ricotta, recipe follows
Preheat
the oven to 375 degrees
In a
large saucepan, combine the tomatoes and their juices, tomato paste, garlic
powder, salt, pepper, oregano, onions and black beans. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat,
and then reduce he heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 30 minutes. ***I had to add some liquid to the sauce
because it was really thick.
Meanwhile,
bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lasagna noodles and cook to al dente according to
package directions. Drain the noodles well.
Spread
1 cup of the prepared sauce in a 9 x 13 x 2” baking pan. Make three layers of
each of the noodles, sauce and Tofu Ricotta. End with the sauce and make sure the noodles are completely
covered or they will dry out during baking.. ***I added a bunch of little butter pats and a sprinkling of
soy parmesan to the top. Bake for
45 minutes, uncovered. Allow the
dish to stand for 15 minutes before cutting into squares.
Tofu Ricotta:
1/4 cup
raw cashews, finely ground (I
soaked the cashews for 10 minutes to soften)
14 ounces
extra-firm tofu, drained and pressed
1/4 cup
nutritional yeast
3 tablespoons
olive oil
1 tablespoon
dried basil
salt
and pepper
Add
the cashews to a food processor and grind them. Then crumble in the tofu, and add the yeast, olive oil and
basil. Season with salt and
pepper. To press tofu, drain any
liquid from the block of tofu by folding paper towels around tofu on a plate
and setting something heavy on top –wrought iron skillet.
