VEGETARIAN ZUCCHINI LASAGNA (NO PASTA USED)
What could be better than a lasagna with 2 pounds of ricotta cheese? Its vegetarian but no one will miss the meat since it has all that extra cheese.

Steps:
- 1. NOTE: You will need some extra seasonings when you use your favorite spaghetti sauce in this dish but feel free to use more or less to your own liking. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut unpeeled zucchini into long slices about 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick. Cook in boiling water just until it begins to soften but not until it becomes limp, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Mix ricotta cheese, eggs, parsley, seasonings, 1/2 of the parmesan cheese, and 1/2 of the bread crumbs in a bowl. Set aside.
- 2. In a 9 by 13 inch baking pan, spoon a layer of tomato sauce using a little less than 1/2 the sauce. Sprinkle 1/2 of the remaining bread crumbs over sauce. Arrange layer of 1/2 of the zucchini slices over bread crumbs. Spoon 1/2 of the reserved ricotta mixture on top of the zucchini. Sprinkle with 1/2 the mozzarella cheese. Arrange the rest of the zucchini over this, next layer remaining tomato sauce and then the remaining bread crumbs. Top with remaining ricotta mixture. Finally top with remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheeses.
- 3. Bake in preheated oven for about 1 hour or until top is brown. Let stand 15 minutes before cutting.
