Instructions
- Add tomatoes and Italian spices, such as oregano and basil to a good-size bowl and stir. Set 3 or 4 tablespoons aside (to finish layering).
- Heat a large frying pan to medium-high and spray with cooking spray.
- Mix 1 tsp oil with egg whites and pour into warm skillet. Quickly rotate pan until there is a very thin layer. This will be used where the traditional pasta noodles are.
- Cut to fit your casserole dish. In the bowl with the tomatoes (excluding 3-4 tbsp) stir in tofu, ricotta, asparagus, peppers, mushrooms and zucchini.
- Start the layer with ZONoodlEs, then the goodies in the bowl, then layer some spinach. Repeat until everything is used up.
- Make top layer the tomatoes you previously set aside, sprinkle cheese on top and bake at 350ºF until warmed and veggies are soft, 30-40 minutes.
- Let cool 5 minutes and drizzle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil.
