Everything's Better with Cheese!

Recipe for Success issued a flash challenge asking followers to make a hot dish with the most vegetables they can. The tasty little number that I created is "Marissa's Meatless and Pastaless Vegetable Lasagna". It is amazing and has 14 vegetables in it! Check it out:

Here's the recipe:
1. Preheat Oven to 350
2. Poke holes in an entire Spaghetti Squash (Veggie #1) and put it in the oven
3. Thinly slice 1) Eggplant (Veggie # 2), Squash (Veggie #3) and Zucchini (Veggie #4) place on a cookie sheet, top with Cayenne, Tony's and pop it in the oven
4. In a small pot, boil or steam a head of Broccoli (Veggie #5)
5. In a large pot, add the following chopped items: Garlic (Veggie #6), Celery (Veggie #7), Chives (Veggie #8), Onions (Veggie #9), Red Bell Pepper (Veggie # 10, Spinach (Veggie #11), Tomatoes (Veggie #12), Carrots (Veggie #13) and 1 Jalapeno (Veggie #14). I cook all of this on Medium-Low with Olive Oil.
6. Keep an eye on your Eggplant, Squash and Zucchini tray and remove it from the onion once it is cooked.
7. Once the pot of veggies are pretty sautéed, add 1 large can of whole Tomatoes and 1/4 cup of water and reduce the heat to Low
8. Remove the Spaghetti Squash from the Oven and allow it to cool.While it is cooling, get out your large baking pan and coat it with Olive Oil.
9. Scrape the inside of the Spaghetti Squash into the pan to create your first layer.
10. Add a layer or Cheese: Ricotta, Parmesan and Mozzarella
11. Add a little bit of the Spaghetti Sauce you made
12. Add a layer of other veggies: Eggplant, Squash and Zucchini
13. Add another layer of Ricotta Cheese
14. Add the rest of the Spaghetti Sauce
15. Top with more Parmesan and Mozzarella.
16. Bake until the cheese melts.

And, yes, you read this correctly. I did not have to add any more seasoning besides those listed in step 3. All of the vegetables brought out natural, delicious flavors.

This meal is a little expensive since it has so many different veggies and cheeses,  but it's well worth it. It is delicious and taste amazing reheated. Recipe will feed 12-15!

Enjoy:)
