Ingredients
Creamy Chicken with Butter Sauce
Instructions
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly oil a 9x13-inch baking dish. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm some oil and toss in the onions and bell pepper. Cook them, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and the peppers start to soften—about 3 to 5 minutes. Next, add the mushrooms and cook for another 4 minutes until they’re nice and tender.
Step 2
Stir in the diced and crushed tomatoes, tofu, chopped spinach, garlic, parsley, basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. Let everything come to a gentle simmer, then turn the heat down to medium-low and let it bubble away for about 10 minutes so the flavors meld together.
Step 3
Spread a layer of the sauce on the bottom of your baking dish, then add a layer of lasagna noodles. Keep building it up by alternating sauce and noodles, making sure to finish off with a good layer of sauce on top. Sprinkle some shredded cheese over everything, then carefully pour a bit of water around the edges to keep things moist. Cover the dish tightly with foil.
Step 4
Pop the lasagna into the oven and bake for around 40 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked through and everything is bubbling nicely. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving!
