I made this for my family and they LOVED it. dear hubby didn\'t even know it was Tofu! We love whole wheat pasta... and he and our daughter love olives with their pasta. I always add my own touches of spices with fresh basil, garlic, and italian seasoning.
I say don\'t knock something until you try it. My husband doesn\'t like tofu.. and liked this. my 5 year old loved it. it as yummy and healthier... a win win recipe!!

I have been making these lasagna rolls for years, and making lasagne with tofu instead of ricotta cheese - it is delicious and has a ton less fat - so glad to see this vegetarian dish on Yahoo! Food.

These wonderful lasagna rolls made a spectacular addition to our Christmas dinner. The tofu in this recipe just makes the dish healthier and appropriate for everyone in the family. I will definately add this to my recipe box and highly recommend that you do so as well. Thank you.

Your just fooling yourself into thinking it\'s cheese when you use tofu. Just don\'t put it in. Use vege hamburger meat.

Let\\'s not fool ourselves here though, tofu has plenty of fat. Veggie hamburger is heavily processed. Use sparingly.

Replace the Tofu with crab meat and make your own pasta sauce and it makes for a wonderfull dish.....

My husband loved this dish! I substituted ground turkey for the tofu and red bell pepper for the kalamata olives. Definitely worth making again! I didn\\'t use the red pepper because my husband doesn\\'t do spicy but it was absolutely delicious! Definitely making this dish again!

I was thinking that doing the rollups would be extra work.. and I would think this recipe could also be layered like traditional lasagna and baked in oven.

I added some salt and black pepper to the tofu/spinach mixture (but very little salt). It turned out delicious. I used Firm Tofu for the tofu, but I think soft would work as well (but not silken).

The roll ups were lousy with the tofu. The following week I made it with very Hot Italian sausage and ground meat. It was a hit! Girlfriend and the my adult sons loved it.
Try it with real meat.

My hubby refuses to eat tofu but he had no problem eating these and then asked what was in them, after the fact. He had NO IDEA. Highly recommend giving these a try. Cut time by buying the wide, already cooked noodles. Super easy and yummy.

I usually always follow these recipes to get me through the week. Something new all the time. I ended up making this for lunch. It was good until I finished the meal. I was on the toliet every 3.5 mins. I think it was from the tofu., not sure though. This meal made my stomach boil for about 4 straight hours. All over a meal. Please be careful.

Ok, so it was my first time making a lasagna dish of any kind and I think it turned out, alright.
I guess I shouldnt have gone for such healthy ingredients, but I added my own twist. I bought a can of Chili from my supermarket and added it to the filling, which, obviously made this less healthy, but added a nice kick to the plain old tofu and spinach filling. I just had to make sure I mashed the canned chili well enough because it became harder to fill the rolls if it was too chunky.
But overall, it was a good recipe. Tastes best when you eat it after it\\'s just prepared.
Good luck to everyone who tries it in the future! :)

The filling seemed chintzy to me. I like a little more filling and less pasta. Love tofu in dishes like these.
Overall a good recipe. Next time I will try for 1/2 cup in each pasta roll.

A fantastic idea..I would use a oven at 375-degree\\'s[F]..I would also add some mushrooms..Spinach

To cut down on carbs, I sometimes cut x-firm tofu into ravioli size squares and add them to my simmering spaghetti sauce.

I made these the other day for my husband who is a picky eater and a super lasagna lover! I used ground beef instead of the tofu (although I can\\\'t wait to try it again and actullay use the tofu) and added a tablespoon of cottage cheese to each roll. They were AMAZING!!!! Very filling, beautiful presentation and great the next day as leftover! Thank you!

I made these last night and they were awsome. I substituted ground beef for the tofu and left out the olives and they came out great. The garlic came out to be a little strong so next time I will probably only use 2 cloves but either way they were good and even better as leftovers. Great Recipe

I would never thought about doing a lasagna dish like this!!! I like I might try this recipe!!!!

I didn\'t get to use the tofu because I didn\'t have any. I used ricotta but I can\'t wait to try it with tofu. It was sooo yummy. I didn\'t use all of the ingredients and added some other little things. Definitely great tasting and easy to make. My three year old helped me. She loved rolling up the noodles. Seriously, it was really really good!!!

I liked it because it was healthy wholesome dinner, but taste wise ...... i have had better lasagna rolld. Later that week i replaced the tofu with grilled chicken, it tasted wonderful!!!
me and my husband loved it

We\'ve been making variations on this dish for a while. It\'s fancy enough for a special dinner but easy enough for weeknights. I like this version - the kalamata olives and red pepper give it some zing.
For those who don\'t eat cheese, substitute nutritional yeast for the parmesan. It gives it extra nutrients while adding that "cheesy" flavor. If you don\'t like jarred marinara sauce, make your own.

recipes don\'t always have to be done as written, real cooks know how to add their own flare
if you don\'t like the tofu, and like spniach- add some chicken
if ou don\'t like euther, don\'t make it- make somethin completely different
change it up, don\'t bash it... you\'re free to make changes
i never thought of lasagna in a roll, before- it might be nice with pulled pork, too and bbq sauce... chicken and green peppers.... pepper steak and marinara with parmsean or mozarella... maybe even with rice?

I never wrote a review before, but this time i couldnt hold myself..
Have you noticed that people who cooked these lasagna rolls loves them, and these who just read the recipe thinks its discuisting? Once again it just shows how people dont have the taste.. You can give someone a glass of red wine and then a glass of white wine mixed with red food colour in it and they wont taste the difference!

well, it seems your friend forgot to press the water from the tofu....it is actually really good when it is prepared correctly.
i\'m tired of inexperienced people turning others off of tofu just because they\'re too lazy to press all the water out of it!

I open a title that tells me there are 7 "EASY" recipes inside and expect veracity.
I don\\'t expect something as simple as "open package #1, microwave on high for 4 minutes, open package #2, add to contents of package #1 and microwave an additional 2 minutes, spice and serve.",
HOWEVER,
I don\\'t expect to open several cans and packages, grate cheese, chop garlic cloves, olives, spinach, boil pasta, etc etc etc!
THERE\\'s nothing "easy" here.
It takes time to open, grate, chop, boil, sautee, not to mention organizing the containers and measuring cups and washing and drying the whole mess afterwards.
You might as well stew your own tomatoe sauce instead of opening up a jar. It\\'s just as "EASY"!
(grumble grumble gripe gripe thanks for wasting my time Yahoo!)
