    Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C). In frying pan over medium-high heat, add 2 Tbsp (30 mL) olive oil and saut?ucchini, peppers, onion, and garlic until onions are transparent.

    In large bowl combine tomato sauce, oregano, basil, and mushrooms. In another bowl, mix soft tofu with spinach.

    Slice extra-firm tofu into 1/8 to 1/4 in (3 to 6 mm) slices to act as lasagna noodles.

    Oil 9 x 13 in (23 x 33 cm) lasagna pan with remaining olive oil. Pour a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom. Add a layer of tofu as you would lasagna noodles. Top with some of the spinach mixture and then some grilled vegetables. Sprinkle some mozzarella on top.
    Repeat until all ingredients are used (you will have two or three layers). Top with remaining mozzarella and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
