For Topping

- Add Veggies: Add the chopped mushrooms and zucchini and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring often.
- Add Tomato Paste and Seasonings: Add tomato paste, dried herbs and salt and sauté for an additional 2 minutes, stirring often.
- Add Liquids and Simmer: Add them crushed tomatoes and vegetable stock and bring to a simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add Pasta: Add broken lasagna noodles and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Check noodles to ensure they are cooked al dente. Taste and season accordingly with more herbs, salt and pepper, if needed.
- Serve: Serve right away with fresh cracked black pepper, torn fresh basil and tofu ricotta.
Notes
If you are planning to make this ahead of time, cook the noodles separately and add them when you are ready to eat. The noodles will continue to absorb liquid once cooked.
If you have a vegan parmesan cheese or mozzarella cheese you like, those also work well for toppings.
