 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
 12                    Curly lasagna noodles made
                       -w/o eggs
  2       tb           Olive oil
  1 1/4   lb           Spinach -- well washed, stems
                       -removed and leaves coarsely
                       -chopped
  1       md           Onion -- finely chopped
  2                    Broccoli stalks -- cut into
                       -small florets, stalks
                       -finely chopped
  1       lb           Mushrooms -- thinly sliced
  2                    Garlic cloves -- minced
  5 1/2   c            Tofu "cheese" sauce (see
                       -recipe)
  2       c            Tomato sauce

 In a large pot of lightly salted boiling water, cook
 the lasagna noodles just until tender, about 6
 minutes. Drain well. Toss with 1 tablespoon of the oil
 to keep the noodles from sticking.

 Meanwhile, put 1 inch of water into a large saucepan
 with a steamer basket, cover with the lid, and bring
 to a gentle boil. Put the spinach in the steamer
 basket, cover and steam until the spinach is wilted, 2
 to 3 minutes. Drain the spinach and rinse under cold
 running water. Use your hands to squeeze the excess
 water from the spinach.

 In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon
 olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, broccoli,
 mushrooms, and garlic and cook until the onions are
 softened, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach and cook,
 stirring, until all the moisture has evaporated from
 the spinach, about 2 minutes. Stir in the Tofu
 "cheese" sauce, and remove from the heat.

 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil a 9- by
 13-inch baking dish. Place 4 cooked lasagna noodles in
 the baking dish, overlapping them slightly. Spread
 with half the spinach filling. Top with 4 more
 noodles, and spread with the remaining filling. Top
 with 4 more noodles, and spread the remaining tomato
 sauce on top.

 Bake until bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Let stand 10
 minutes before serving.
