Clean Veggie Lasagna

This one is ridiculous and amazing!!

Ingredients:

1.  5 baby zucchini cu into 1/2″ slices

2.  2 spaghetti squash cooked and scraped (yields about 4 cups, which is what you need for this) and split into 2-2 cup servings.

3.  3 cups THU veggie ragout divided into 3-1 cup servings.

4.  1 teaspoon olive oil or olive oil spray (to coat the pan)

5.  12 ounces mozzarella cheese (either grated in a processor or shredded) split into 4-3 ounce servings.

6.  3 ounces grated parmesan cheese

Recipe:

1.  Evenly spread two cups of spaghetti squash noodles over the base of a well oiled or well sprayed pan.

2.  Evenly spread 3 ounces of mozzarella cheese over that.

3.  Evenly Spoon 1 cup Veggie Ragout over the top.

4.  Evenly spread 3 ounces of mozzarella cheese over that.

5.  This is tedious but worth it, spread all the zucchini flat over the cheese one layer thick, if there are some left over, eat them now.

6.  1 cup of ragout over that.

7.  3 ounces of cheese over that

8.  Spread the remaining 2 cups of spaghetti squash over the top of that.

9.  Spread the remaining 1 cup of ragout over that.

10.  Evenly smooth the remaining cheese over the top.

11.  Now liberally sprinkle all of the parmesan over the top.

12.  Bake in a 400 degree oven until the edges are bubbly and the top has a kind of golden brownish sheen to it.  This is very hard to overcook since there is a lot of water involved in all these vegetables.  The worst thing that can happen is that it is a bit wet when you cut into it.  Trust me, it is not that big of a deal.

IMPORTANT LTL NOTE!!

Look at that ingredients list, there is cheese and no meat.  That puts this into phase II.  Yay, however, you must get at least 6 servings out of this or you will be taking in too much protein.  The way I have structured this is that there should be at least 6 servings of 2.5 ounces of cheese in each serving.  If you have this in 6 servings, each one will be close to 3 cups of vegetables in each serving.  It is hardy and would work well in 9 servings as a lighter snack as well.
