Lasagna three way

I had planned three Lasagna's today though they didn't go as I wanted. I got strapped for time because of a phone interview. So Lasagna consists of (1) Tofu (2) portabella mushrooms (3) zucinni and yellow squash with vine tomatoes, pablano peppers, onions, and a lot of other good stuff. Prep time two hours.

 In bowl, beat (eggs) then mix in and set aside
  • 4 large eggs
  • 6T dried parsley
  • 15oz low fat ricotta cheese & 15oz non fat ricotta cheese
  • 4t cayenne peppers
In a large skillet with olive oil cook seperatly

  • 2 portabella mushooms, sliced length wise
  • 1 zuccinni and 1 yellow squash, thinly sliced circles
  • 2 pablano peppers and 1/2 onion, sliced in thinly with thin celery (1/3stick)
Slice thinly
  • 3 Vine ripe tomatoes
  • 1/2 container of hard tofu
Start layering.

Be sure not there is a good amount of liquid in each layer or the pasta will not have enough liquid to cook in the pan. Use olive oil if your vegetables, cheese/egg mixture, or tomatoes are not watery enough.
