Step 1
Sauté the onion in some olive oil, in a large saucepan over medium heat. Once translucent, add the garlic, along with the tofu mince. Season with pepper. Cook for two minutes, then add a dash of soy sauce.
Step 2
Once the onion is cooked, add the carrot and celery. Stir well.
Step 3
Add the harissa and spices and cook for 1 minute while stirring.
Step 4
Add the diced tomatoes and water, season with salt and pepper and simmer for 15 min.
Step 5
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200°C and brush a medium-sized oven dish with olive oil.
Step 6
Spoon a thin layer of tomato sauce into the bottom of the dish. Cover with lasagna sheets. Spoon a thicker layer of tomato sauce on top and cover again with lasagna sheets. Repeat until the sauce and lasagna sheets are used up.
Step 7
Finally, pour the Pa’lais Cuisine – Bechamel onto the last layer of lasagna sheets and spread the sauce nicely over the entire baking dish.
Step 8
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 45 minutes or until the lasagna sheets are cooked and the bechamel sauce is golden brown and crispy.
Tip 1
Add sautéed mushrooms to the sauce, for even more umami flavor.
Tip 2
Add smoked paprika to the sauce, if you like a smokey flavor.
