Amy's Tofu Vegetable Lasagna
By: | Sep 8, 2006
Amy's Tofu Vegetable Lasagna is another winner. It is made using organic lasagna pasta, 'mozarella style' soy cheese, zucchini, small bits of tofu, and tomato puree. There is also caesinate which is a milk protein, which is important to note if you are vegan. It is very hard to describe the taste of lasagna, but Amy's Tofu Vegetable lasagna tasted like most other lasagnas that I have had, whether they were vegetarian or not.
Lasagna is one of those foods that is not at its best when microwaved because the m'wave has a tendency to heat things unevenly. Since lasagna is quite a few inches thick and you cannot stir it, you have to heat it for a few minutes longer than other frozen dinners to get the middle hot all the way through. Unfortunately, by the time this happens, the outer edges are usually crusty and look burnt. This is common with all microwaved lasagnas, especially if you are getting a decent portion size. In Amy's vegetable lasagna this was also the case, but it was still quite good. The tomato puree was not overhwelming, and as I have mentioned before, I dislike strong tomato paste taste in my food. I also liked the fact that I was getting at least one serving of veggies from this (if not more). I think what was so good about this is that it will taste good to you whether you are vegetarian or a die hard meat eater.
One box of Amys Tofu Vegetable Lasagna (9.5 ounces) is 310 calories and 11 grams of total fat which is 18% of the recommended daily amount (RDA), but only 2 grams (9% of the RDA) is from saturated fat. There is also 28% of the RDA of sadium, 13 grams of protein and 41 grams total carbohydrates, which includes 6 grams of dietary fiber and 6 grams of sugars. Amy's is packing quite a few vitamins and minerals too, with 60% of the RDA for vitamin A, 35% for vitamin C, 25% for iron and 10% calcium.
One box of this vegetable lasagna costs about $4.00. I loved all the vitamins and minerals you get from this, which is not added, but there it is on the high side for sodium. There is another review over at HeatEatReview [link]. Jess was not big on 'soy cheese' but still gave it 4 out of 5 stars.

I like lasagna, but where is the spinach? That stuff is the best.
I read Jess's review, after I ate this lasagna..She is dead wrong! it was delicious. I am the only vegitarian in my family, and had my mother and sister in law try it and they liked it better than the "real" cheese and meat version everyone else was eating!! All I can say is..this stuff is awesome! Jess should not be ctriticizing food she forms opinions abot before even trying it.
