From Martha Stewart Living April 2010
So, this recipe isn't vegan, but I'm sure you could adapt it.
For the sauce (3 cups):
1 can whole peeled plum tomatoes w/ juice
2 T. EVOO
1 small onion finely chopped
1/4 tsp red-pepper flakes
12 oz ground turkey (optional for the vegetarians)
2 T. chopped fresh oregano
2 tsp coarse salt
For the lasagna:
2 medium zucchini
1 c. part-skim ricotta cheese (or vegan substitute)
ground pepper
1. Make the sauce: Pulse tomatoes with juice in food processor until finely chopped. Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Cook onion and red-pepper flakes, stirring occasionally, until onion is tender, about 8 min. Add turkey, cook till brown (optional). Add tomatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer till thick, about 20 min. Stir in oregano and salt. Let cool.
2. Make the lasagna: Preheat oven to 375 deg. Slice zucchini lengthwise into thin strips (about 1/8 in thick). Place 5 or 6 slices, overlapping slightly, in bottom of 8 in. square baking dish. Top with 1 c. sauce. Dot with 1/4 c ricotta. Repeat twice with zucchini, remaining sauce, and 1/2 c. ricotta, alternating direction of zucchini. Top with remaining zucchini, alternating direction. Brush with oil. Dot with remaining 1/4 c. ricotta. Season with pepper. Bake, uncovered, until lasagna bubbles and top browns, 50 to 60 min. Let stand for 10 min before serving.

Hey Kelsey, glad to see you here! I had a question, what's TEVOO?
Thanks, jamie
One could probably substitute the turkey with soy textured vegetable protein with added spices. Make sure the TVP doesn't have gluten in it.
To replace the ricotta, one can freeze firm tofu (changes the texture), un-thaw and crumble.
And Jamie, I think she means 1 Tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. It's a Rachel Ray abbreviation.
Yeah, I figured it out after about 5 minutes of hard thinking. It was early! P.S. the brownies are even better the second day!
correctomundo on the EVOO, melinda!
