Lasgana

[Chrissyb]

I have been craving Lasgana but I have to have it dairy free. I can use goat cheese but I want the same creamyness of cottage cheese or ricotta cheese any ideas. I was wondering if the tofutti cream cheese would work.

One of the ladies my dd lives with was gluten and dairy free. They made their lasagna with the soy cheeses and extra spices.

I'd think your idea will work. I'd puree a little of it and then mix it back in with the rest.

Just plain tofu works well. It absorbs tha flavors of whatever it is cooked in. Use it like ricotta, mixing in the egg, herbs, spinach, whatever. Crumble it or make it a little smoother. Instead of that layer of cheese on top maybe some "buttered" breadcrumbs?

I also use tofu to substitute for the cottage/ricotta cheeses. Works just fine and lets me continue to enjoy my lasagna.

I use mashed avocado in a layer. Not quite as creamy/rich as ricotta, but good in its own right, and my non-gluten-free in laws like it.

I made it for my DD with mashed potatoes
