(adapted from a recipe in "The Vegan Cookbook")

1) Fill a large saucepan with water, add a little salt, a few drops of oil,
and bring it to a boil. Then add the lasagne. Allow it to come back to a
boil, reduce heat, simmer until tender (about 12 minutes). Stir often to
prevent the pasta from sticking. When ready, drain, rinse with cold water
and set aside.

2) Put 6 tablespoonsful of oil in another large saucepan over low heat.
Saute the onions until transparent.

3) Add the tomatoes, marjoram, salt and pepper to taste, and saute for
another 5 minutes, stirring often. Then add the broccoli florets and
carrots and cook until tender.

4) Crumble the tofu in a blender, add all the remaining ingredients (except
vegan cheese) and blend into a smooth creamy sauce.

5) Arrange the vegetables, lasagne and sauce in alternate layers in a
lightly-greased, ovenproof rectangular dish. Finish with a layer of lasagne
and sauce. Here, I like to place slices of vegan mozzarella cheese to top
it all.

6) Heat in a moderate oven (350 degrees F/180 decrees C) for about 20
minutes. Serve immediately.
