Eggplant and zucchini can be used to make this lasagna, but I think eggplant works best and is in season, but feel free to use zucchini or even lasagna noodles instead, just cook them according to package directions. It's extremely good and there are so many lasagna fillings you can use, like our vegan bolognese sauce or our lentil bolognese. Try using roasted zucchini and Japanese eggplant to replace the noodles in this vegetable-loaded and gluten-free recipe for vegetarian zucchini and eggplant lasagna.

Towering Tofu Lasagna with Eggplant and Zucchini step by step:
- Wrap tofu in a paper towel and microwave for 1-2 minutes. Discard paper towel and cut into 8 equally thick slices..
- Slice zucchini and eggplant into into round slices 1/2 inch or 1 cm thick. Cut the tomato into thinner thin slices..
- Heat about 2 Tbsp oil in a frying pan on medium. Lightly fry tofu, eggplant and zucchini slices on both sides until a little browned/a little softened, then sprinkle with salt, pepper and herbs. Add more oil to frying pan if things start to stick. Eggplant tends to need more oil than other things..
- Grease a gratin or baking dish with a bit of vegetable oil, and pour in about 1/3 of the tomato sauce. Lay down 4 slices of tofu as the bottom layer with zucchini layer on top of that. Pour over another 1/3 of the sauce. Sprinkle in some fresh ginger here if using..
- On top of that, add layer of eggplant & remaining tofu slices. Pour over remaining sauce..
- Sprinkle cheese evenly over the lasagna. Lastly, lay the slices of tomato over top. Place in toaster oven or top rack of oven and turn on broil setting. Cook until the cheese melts and slightly browns. I think I baked mine a bit too brown here, but YUM!.
Top with a generous amount of nutritional yeast. Healthy and doesn't take forever to make! Go vegetarian or, if you want a little bit of meat in there, use a meaty tomato sauce.. Although lasagna is a dish that many people looove to eat, in Greece it isn't very popular. The reason is, that we already have a traditional Greek oven baked pasta that we make and uses the exact same ingredients as lasagna usually do.
