Day 205- Recipe: Vegetable Lasagna by David Montijo

I came home today to a delicious smelling dinner prepared by my roommate Dave, and since this never happens I feel like the need to write a blog in his honor. As a bachelor, meals for him usually consist of going out to eat, but Dave is turning over a new leaf and becoming somewhat domesticated. So here is his yummy vegetarian lasagna.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 pounds Ricotta cheese
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
• 5 ounces Parmesan cheese
• 1 pound Lasagna noodles
• 4 cups Fresh Spinach, sliced
• 1/2 cup Parsley
• 30 ounces Tomato Vodka Sauce
• 1 Eggplant, sliced
• 2 Zucchinis cut into bite size pieces
• 1 egg
• Sea salt and Pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• Italian Seasoning

Directions:

1. Drizzle olive oil on eggplant and place on grill until tender
2. Sprinkle seasoning on zucchini and place on grill until tender
3. Boil noodles according to directions on box
4. Mix all the cheeses with the egg, parsley, salt and pepper
5. Layer the bottom of baking dish with noodles
6. Top with sauce and cheese mixture
7. Add a layer of spinach
8. Place another layer of noodles over sauce, cheese and spinach mixture
9. Repeat adding another layer of sauce, cheese, and spinach
