About 2 cups Homemade sauce OR your favorite red sauce
1 medium zucchini thinly sliced (such as on a cheese grater)
About 2 - 2 1/2 cups cooked spaghetti squash
1/2 cup fat free ricotta cheese
3 oz fancy shredded mozzarella cheese
Ground pepper
Dried parsley flakes

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a casserole dish, smear a little of the sauce on the bottom to 
prevent sticking then begin layering zucchini, top with a bit of 
squash, dab on ricotta (I crumpled the best I can to cover the area), 
sprinkle with a bit of the shredded cheese, add some sauce repeat 
until you are out of ingredients.

Just dab the cheese and sauce. It will get your fingers dirty but 
it's worth it in the end!

Repeat the layering until you are out of ingredients. Be sure the 
save a bit of mozzarella cheese for the top. If you use fancy 
shredded cheese it tends to go a bit further.

Sprinkle the top with some ground pepper and dried parsley. Bake 
uncovered for at about 45 minutes until zucchini is tender.

During the baking process there will be a lot of water, no pasta 
to soak it up. About every 10-15 minutes use a turkey baster to 
remove some excess water.

This recipe it even better double baked! You can easily make it 
ahead and then pop it back in the oven. Just like traditional 
lasagna, it's better the next day!
