1 cup shredded zucchini
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1/4 large yellow onion, chopped
2 tblsp dried basil
1 can diced tomatoes

A few shakes of salt from the shaker

Here is how you make Guiltless Meatless Lasagna:

1. Drop a few dashes of olive oil in a large pot and add the vegetables. Saut?e them until they're coated in the oil and slightly cooked. 2. Add the canned tomatoes, tomato sauce and paste. Stir. 3. Add the spices and water, stirring until well-blended. Cover and let the concoction simmer for about 20 minutes. Stir it a few times to make sure it's not burning or sticking to the pot. 4. Combine the cheeses, the sour cream, and the egg. whisk together and add a bit of pepper and basil to the mixture if you want. Some recipes call for oregano and that's perfectly fine. I don't use the spice because it simply does not agree with me!)5. Spray your lasagna pan with cooking oil, or spread butter on the bottom. This is to help prevent any sticking of the cheeses while it cooks. 6. Turn off the heat for the sauce and spoon a light layer of it on the bottom of the pan. 7. Put in the lasagna strips, overlapping slightly. 8. Add a just enough of the sauce mixture to cover the pasta. 9. Add the cheese mixture. I only had enough of this for one layer. 10. Lay another layer of pasta strips and add more of the sauce. If you have any cheese mixture left, add it, too. 11. cover it all with cut or torn up provolone slices. It really doesn't matter how you arrange the pieces because they'll melt and ooze a bit during the cooking process. 12. Cover with foil, puffing it up at the top to prevent it from touching the top layer of cheese. Cook for 30 minutes.13. Remove lasagna from oven and remove foil, scraping off cheese that melted to it. 14. Put the uncovered lasagna back in the oven and turn the oven to broil for another 5 minutes so the provolone cheese can brown. 15. Remove from oven and let sit for about 20 minutes before eating. 16. Slice and enjoy! Serving Size: Makes about 16 servingsNumber of Servings: 10Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user TLCOUNCIL.
