#5 VEGGIE LASAGNA

I had some friends over yesterday and we've been meaning to make a veggie lasagna together for ages.
I love lasagna and I love vegetable lasagna but I've never tried it with tofu or anything. 
but my friend is a vegetarian and she had a lovely recipe for tofu bolognese sauce and it's not really difficult to make that into a lasagna then.

so we simply added some peppers, onions, garlic and a lot of herbs.
the most important thing when you make a dish using tofu is to add a lot of taste by using herbs and other flavourful things to it because the tofu itself doesn't really taste like a lot to be honest.

we had a lot of fun cooking and talking in the kitchen and I have to say it turned out really well. thank you girls!
