I found this recipe on a low carb site and modified it slightly to suit our tastes. We had it for dinner last night and it was AWESOME!! Very yummy and the flavor of all those fresh veggies blended beautifully with the sauce! DH went back for seconds, so this is definitely a keeper. Add a side salad and your meal is complete!

This lasagna was a bit too complicated to make. I think I would use a simpler recipe next time.

The zucchini noodles were too watery for my liking. I think I would use regular pasta next time.

The lasagna was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more garlic and Italian seasoning next time.
