Pumpkin Tofu Lasagna

This is a cheese-less and meatless lasagna (the first one I’ve ever made!)! It was very much a “use whatever you have in the fridge” sort of deal, but I loosely followed this recipe right here. I’d love to follow it exactly someday, but as much as I love the game, my refrigerator didn’t need more Tetris-ing. It was somewhat time-consuming only in the respect that I’m kinda slow in the morning and tend to try to do a billion things at once, but in any case, I think this took a little over an hour to prepare? (I had the kind of lasagna noodles that you have to cook beforehand. If you want to save yourself the trouble, buy the no-boil ones or experiment with the liquid content of the sauce you’re using/making!)
