Veggie Lasagna

We all crave a little Italian in our lives... Right? Well tonight I did. But duh- I'm not going to eat the pasta, so I figured out another way to make a layered pie with all veggies. It's actually simple. And this recipe is so great for the working mom (& dad) because you can put it all together the night before and, when you get home, just pop it in the oven for 25 minutes for dinner! Simple, fast, efficient. All while still getting your kids homework done for the night. Sounds like a recipe I can bake with!

Ingredients 

- 2 zucchinis

- 2 yellow squash

- 1 red pepper

- mozzarella cheese

- 2 cups of tomato sauce

- *optional: Italian seasoning

- Pam 

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees 

2. Slice up your veggies. Don't make your slices of zucchini and squash too thin. And cube your red pepper. 

3. Make one layer of zucchini at the bottom. 

4. Spray with Pam. 

5. Next, layer with 1/2 cup of tomato sauce, just enough to cover the zucchini slices. 

6. Now layer with some mazarella cheese. I used about a handful. *optional: add some Italian seasoning. 

7. Place squash slices next. Then another 1/2 cup of tomato sauce and another handful of mozzarella cheese. 

8. Place the red pepper cubes now. Then another 1/2 cup of tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. *

9. Lastly, place another layer of zucchini and squash (yes, I mixed it up this time!) and 1/2 cup of tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. *

10. Cook at 350 degrees for 20-25 mins and enjoy! 

Now wasn't that an easy recipe?!? I thought so! 

Shout out to all the working Moms & Dads!
