Submitted by DbKnadler

"This is what I put together for dinner tonight out of things I had on hand. I am crossing my fingers that the kids will eat it and like it. Just a warning, because of all the fresh veggies this will turn out a bit soupy. Edit: March 31st (to add instructions for spinach)"

I made some modifications to the original recipe, I cut out 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder. I also noticed that no where in the instructions does it say where the spinach should be layered in. I put the spinach right before the marinara, but I recommend doing it after the zucchini and before the tomatoes. As a tip, add about half of the oregano in the recipe and put half of it in while you are layering. The recipe is great, but the oregano was overwhelming and I had to wing it a few times. Great healthy alternative to regular lasagna.
