Just delicious! I omitted the green tomato and used two small zucchini. (I drained the zucchini after microwaving them.) I thought that it needed a bit more sauce, so I upped that by about 1/3 C but I didn't take into account that the zucchini would lose more water as it cooked so really the sauce amount would have been fine as written. DH and I were surprised how similar it tasted to lasagna, we did not miss the pasta at all. Perfect for SB diet! Thanks for sharing your recipe!

Made this last night and it was so great. But, made some enhancements...used mild Italian sausage, added a can of sliced black olives, a can of mushrooms and increased the amount of mozzarella to a cup. Obviously these changes increased the fat and calorie content, but not the carb content significantly. Will make this again very soon.

Mmmm! this was yummy, I made it to the recipe with the exception of the green tomato as I didn't have any. I just upped the red which might change the carbs a wee bit, other than I followed the recipe it was very nice. I have made it with aubergine or eggplant and that was good also but I think I like this better as the zucchini was from my garden. thank you for posting made for PAC October 2011
