Veg*An Lasagna - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    340 g vegetarian ground beef (mock ground beef)
    3 cups mozzarella cheese (if making Vegan) or 3 cups soy mozzarella cheese (if making Vegan)
    1 teaspoon olive oil
    1 medium onion, diced fine
    2 minced garlic cloves
    8 ounces firm tofu
    1 tablespoon flour
    1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach (cook according to package)
    9 pieces no-boil lasagna noodles (the kind you do not need to precook)
    5 cups pasta sauce
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
    1 teaspoon oregano
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F.
    Spray a 9x13 lasagna pan lightly with oil
    Saute the onions and garlic in oil over medium heat until soft. Set aside to cool.
    In a bowl mix tofu with salt, pepper, oregano, flour, cooked spinach and sauteed onions.
    In another bowl, crumble the vegetarian ground round and mix with 3 cups of tomato sauce.
    Layer the lasagna pan:
    Spread 1/2 cup of the reserved tomato sauce on the bottom of the pan and set 3 lasagna noodles in the sauce (leave space between them - they expand while cooking).
    Cover noodles with half of vegetarian ground round mixture followed by 1 cup of shredded cheese.
    Arrange 3 noodles on top followed by the spinach mixture.
    Spread remaining vegetarian ground round mixture over followed by 1 cup of shredded cheese.
    Place the last 3 lasagna noodles on top and cover with the rest of the tomato sauce.
    Top lasagna with remaining cheese & bake for 45 minutes, or until noodles are tender.
