Preparation

Step 1

Slice zucchini, eggplant, or squash into strips that resemble wide lasagna noodles. Fry them in olive oil until they become noodle-like (not crispy). Salt and pepper them to taste. Set them aside on some paper towels.

Step 2

Heat the tomato or marinara sauce and add the Morningstar Protein Crumbles. When the crumbles are hot, put half or a third of them on the bottom of a pyrex baking pan. Then cover that layer with your zucchini, eggplant, or squash "noodles." Then layer the cheese mixture. Repeat, and continue layering until your lasagna is complete.

Step 3

Bake at 375 degrees for about 20-30 minutes.
