Directions

Preheat oven to 400. Saute onion and garlic on high heat in a wok or non-stick pan for 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until onions are limp and mushrooms give up their liquid. Remove them to a large bowl with a slotted spoon. Drain liquid from pan and reserve. Saute Brocolli and carrotts for 5 minutes and add to the mushroom bowl. Saute the corn until just beginning to soften and add to vegetable bowl. Drain the Tofu by wrapping in paper towels then break it up and mix into the vegetable bowl. Add spices to the vegetable bowl and combine. To Assemble: Cover the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch casserole with a layer of sauce and add a layer of noodles. Cover the noodles with sauce; this way they cook in the oven. Spread the Vegetable mixture over the sauced noodles and cover with another layer of noodles and sauce. Add the Spinach on top of the 2nd layer of noodles and sauce. Cover the Spinach with the mashed Sweet Potatoes and add another layer of sauce. Add the final layer of noodles and cover with the rest of the sauce. BAKING: Cover with foil and bake in 400 degree oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil, sprinkle the cashews on top and return to oven for another 15 minutes. Let rest another 15 minutes before serving

Reviews


I have the Engine 2 Diet book, and I love this recipe. I do find that the filling is sometimes a bit too much for my pan, though, so I reduce the ingredients for that a bit. However, I've made this a few times, and it gets rave reviews from vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.
