1 pound zucchini trimmed and sliced thin lengthwise
9 ounces fresh spinach chopped
24 ounces ricotta cheese
3 ounces parmesan
1 egg beaten
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 cup fresh basil
1/4 cup fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
24 ounces marinara
12 ounces part-skim mozzarella

  5. Coat a 13 x 9 casserole dish with cooking spray and spread 1/2 cup of the  Marinara on the bottom. Top with a layer of noodles, a layer of zucchini, 1/2 of the ricotta mixture and mozzarella. Spread 1/3 of the remaining marinara and repeat the layers. End with a layer of noodles, marinara and remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake for 30 minutes. Allow to cool for 15 minutes prior to serving.
