Vegetarian Lasagna

Living with meat lovers makes it difficult to convince them that eating something with no meat is okay. But I was determined that it was going to happen. I know there are some vegetarians who watch this page so I wanted to do something for them. So I made this delicious lasagne and guess what? IT Guy didn't even miss the meat. If I hadn't told him it was meatless, he never would have known. This was SO good and so easy. I opted to use the "no boil" lasagna noodles and jarred sauce. And instead of making one 9x13 pan, I made two smaller pans and froze one for later. This is really so, so good. And if you want to add meat, then by all means, that's an option. But doing it this way....for a lighter meal....delicious!

Repeat with all ingredients. Cover with foil.

Remove foil and bake another 20 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

The ingredients. I had some cherry 

tomatoes that needed to be used but 

Roma tomatoes would be great.

Mix the egg and ricotta.

The stir in the drained spinach, 

Parmesan, salt and pepper.

Add half the sauce in the bottom 

of a greased pan. Then add enough 

noodles to cover the bottom.

Then spread on half of the ricotta 

mixture, half of the tomatoes and 

half of the zucchini. Then sprinkle 

with half of the mozzarella cheese.

Then repeat with the other half of 

the ingredients. Cover and bake for 

30 minutes. Then uncover and 

bake for 20 more minutes.

Allow to stand for about 5 minutes before slicing.

Yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!
