Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add your uncooked lasagna noodles. Cook according to the package instructions, usually around 8–10 minutes, until al dente.
  3. In a medium skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and sauté for about 3 minutes until softened.
  4. In a food processor, blend the sautéed shallots with the block of extra-firm tofu, lemon juice, sea salt, and ground black pepper until smooth. Fold in the drained chopped spinach until combined.
  5. In a saucepan, melt the vegan butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour for about 2 minutes, then gradually add almond milk while whisking. Add onion powder and garlic powder, simmering for 10 minutes until thickened.
  6. Spread ¼ cup of béchamel sauce in a baking dish. On each noodle, spread 1 tablespoon of pumpkin purée and 3 tablespoons of ricotta filling, rolling from one end to the other.
  7. Pour any remaining béchamel sauce over the assembled rollups. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes, uncovering for the last 10 minutes to crisp the top.
  8. Let the rollups rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
