Vegetarian Zucchini & Cucumber Low Carb/Calorie Lasagna for

T!Van's Note:

This isn't exactly like a lasagna since there aren't any pasta noodles. Instead of the pasta, there are layers of zucchini and cucumber. I accidently peeled a cucumber the first time I tried making a zucchini lasagna and ended up with this which tasted pretty good to me. You can make the whole thing out of just zucchini if you want. I use Fat Free Organic Spaghetti Sauce with Mushrooms from Trader Joe's.

I really liked this recipe! I am not a big zucchini fan, but my husband has a garden and they are prolific! I used this as a base and then added torn up fresh spinach in each layer and topped it with shredded cheese. My husband is actually taking the leftovers to work. Something is rarely does.

I can't believe how much my meat-loving family loved this! I increased the recipe to feed 4 of us and used all zucchini, as that's what I had on hand. The button mushrooms were great but DH said there should be more (I had about 12 small ones), and I would love to try some baby bellos as well next time. Surprisingly, no one missed the greasy meat or starchy noodles and that comes as such a shock to me. I don't know that my photo does this recipe justice, but it was delicious & we're all looking forward to having it again soon! Served with Abm Italian Breadsticks- Grissini. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful creation, T!Van! :D Made & enjoyed for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup Tag Game. http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=323156&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
