How to make it:
Start with tomato spinach sauce
1. In the pot heat up the oil, add onion and cook till tender. Add garlic and cook another 30 seconds.
2. Add tomatoes, all the seasoning and cook till your tomatoes start to fall apart.
3. Add spinach and mix it well.
4. Cook whole mixture on the low heat while you are preparing the tofu cheese.
Tofu cheese
1. Place tofu with the rest of the ingredients to the food processor or high speed blender and blend it till smooth consistency.
2. Taste the tofu cheese and add more seasoning if desired. When happy, transfer it into a bowl and put it aside
3. Now you can either leave your tomato spinach sauce how it is or put it to the blender and blend it till smooth. It is up to you.
4. Taste it and add more seasoning you you desire.
Assembling lasagna
1. Turn the oven on and preheat on 180 degrees Celsius while you are layering your lasagna.
2. In the baking lasagne dish (I used 26cm over 19cm which is 10inch over 7.5inch baking dish)
3. Layers from the bottom:

Carry on till you use all your mixtures and finish with tofu cheese on the top. Sprinkle fresh ground black pepper on top.
Bake it covered for 50 minutes on 180 degrees Celsius. After bake it for another 5 minutes uncovered for brownish colour on top.
Enjoy
Notes:
Lasagne are always best to eat fresh immediately from the oven.
This dish makes 4 portions.
