1 box whole wheat lasagna noodles, parboiled, or pre-cooked
1 very small eggplant, sliced lengthwise ¼- ½” thick
2 large zucchinis, sliced lengthwise ¼-1/2” thick
Olive Oil for spraying
Salt to taste
1 pound farmer or ricotta cheese
1 cup cottage cheese
6 oz shredded part skim mozzarella cheese

Layer bottom of a 9 x 13 pan with one layer of noodles. Cover with 1 layer of roasted veggies (can mix types of veggies in each layer.) In a separate bowl, mix together farmer/ricotta cheese and cottage cheese and sprinkle/crumble cheese mixture on top of the veggie layer. Pour sauce on top of the cheeses. Sprinkle very lightly with mozzarella cheese. Continue layering, ending with a layer of noodles. Top the noodles with sauce and remaining mozzarella cheese. Cover and bake at 375 for 1 hour.
