Vegetable Lasagna

Vegetable Lasagna

During a camping trip with friends last year, I enjoyed some of the best tasting lasagna.  The chef had no recipe (of course) but she did her best to write down what she had “thrown together”.  This is my adapted version.  If you have your own favorite homemade tomato sauce, use an equal amount of that in place of the jar sauce, canned tomatoes, tomato paste and seasonings.  It’s hard to believe it’s vegan!

Equipment:

Chopping Board
Medium Mixing Bowl
Small Mixing Bowl
Medium Sauce Pan
9″ X 13″ Baking Dish

 

Ingredients:

Ricotta Filling:

2 packages (14 oz.) water packed firm tofu
1 container (12 oz.) Tofutti soy sour cream
3 Tbsp dried basil
1 Tbsp dried oregano
4 Tbsp onion powder
4 Tbsp garlic powder
4 tsp sea salt

Sauce:

2 medium yellow onions, cut in half and sliced
1 BULB garlic, chopped
1 BULB garlic, peeled and cloves left whole
2 cups zucchini, 1/4 inch slices cut in half
1 cup broccoli, chopped
2 cups eggplant, 1/2 inch cubes ‘sweated’ (see note below)
1 (24 oz.) jar spaghetti sauce
2 (14 oz.) cans diced tomatoes
1 small can tomato paste
Seasonings to taste (basil, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder)

For lasagna assembly:

1 package whole grain lasagna noodles, UNCOOKED
  nutritional yeast


Directions:

Ricotta Filling:

  1. Rinse, drain well, and mash the tofu to approximate ricotta cheese texture.
  2. Add remaining ingredients and mix well.

Sauce:

  1. In medium sauce pan, saute onion in olive oil until tender.
  2. Add garlic and veggies and saute until veggies are just tender.
  3. Add remaining ingredients (or your own homemade sauce) and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.

Assembly:

  1. Pour about 2 cups of the sauce on the bottom of 9″ x 13″ baking dish.
  2. Arrange single layer of UNCOOKED lasagna noodles over sauce.
  3. Cover lasagna noodles with 1/2 of the ricotta filling.
  4. Sprinkle a layer of nutritional yeast over the ricotta.
  5. Cover the ricotta layer with about 2 cups of sauce.
  6. Repeat steps 2-5 (Layers of lasagna, ricotta, nutritional yeast and sauce.)
  7. Top with a single layer of lasagna noodles and the remaining sauce.
  8. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
  9. Remove foil and bake an additional 10-15 minutes until hot and bubbly.

Note: Sweating the eggplant removes any bitterness.  Place eggplant in a small bowl.  Salt generously. Let sit for 20 minutes until eggplant ‘sweats’. Rinse well and pat dry.

I have been sharing Come And Reason Ministries Bible study lessons with several folk. You have such a beautiful view of the plan of salvation. If we had this message preached when I was young, my generation would still all be in church.

Testimony 17

The blessings of clarity and understanding you and your class inspire me to take from the word of God have impressed upon me so greatly the true, loving character of our Creator. I have found amazing freedom and joy through building a stronger, more intentional relationship with Him. What is new is that this is now a relationship built on love, reverence and respect rather than fear and obligation, and as such my eyes have been slammed OPEN as I am continually impressed by the manifestations of God’s true character in His provisions for fallen man.

T.E.H., Salt Lake City, UT, USA

 

Testimony 30

God lead me to your book “The God-Shaped Brain” while I was searching for another book about the brain and then to your interview about your book on HeartWise Ministries [where] I found out about [Come And Reason Ministries]. I’m now devouring the webcasts of your Bible studies. I have been so greatly blessed and I thank God so much for your courage to speak the Truth in love no matter what. Listening to you contrast the two opposing systems (laws) and digging deep to unearth the hidden treasures in the Bible makes me so incredibly happy and I feel very blessed to be part of your Bible Study Group although I live far away. I am just so excited that there is a group of people that is spreading the Truth about the character of God and it saddens me how few realize what our Father in Heaven is really like.

I continue to enjoy your lessons every week. The more that I research your conclusions, the more I am convinced that the Holy Spirit has lead you to distill out the essence of human redemption. Thank you for your courageous stand for the truth.

Testimony 13

I borrowed “Healing The Mind” DVDs from a friend and showed them at my home for a small gathering of women friends. Neither of my friends are Adventist, but they both enjoyed and embraced the messages you taught. In fact, one of the ladies prayed out loud in our group and that was the first time she had ever had public prayer.

Testimony 11

I would love to have a copy of “Healing the Mind” DVDs to have in my therapy office. I enjoy having clients check out materials to enhance their therapy experience. I have sat under Dr. Jennings’ teaching at an American Association of Christian Counselors convention and respect his work greatly.

Testimony 22

I have found your Bible study class lectures to be very inspiring and useful as I prepare to teach class every other week. I subscribe to the podcast and download your notes on the weeks I teach. The audio and notes are such a great help in preparing. My own understanding of God’s character has grown as I teach the class. Commendations on the thought-provoking and well-prepared material Come and Reason provides. Personally, I get excited by the tie you make between the spiritual and mental/physical domains.

I really enjoy with you the view of a gracious God. Thank you for sharing the work you are allowing the Lord to do in you.

Testimony 55

I was born [into the church], then I left it for many years. 10 years ago, I came back, but I could not take the hypocrisy and the lack of answers to the missing pieces. I struggled, but I did not abandon my commitment to know the truth. God is leading me to the simple understanding of his relevance and I am relearning what the church taught me as a youth… that he loves me, that he has led me to a knowledge of him such as I have never known. He is using Dr. Jennings to connect the dots that are now so apparent and hiding in plain sight!
