Sauceless Garden Lasagna

Recipesfull introduces to you: Italian Recipes. (Sauceless Garden Lasagna). This is a tasty lasagna that I developed to help use up the abundance of tomatoes and zucchini from my garden. I didn't have any pasta sauce on hand, so I just added the herbs to the vegetable mixture. Even my daughter and her picky friends ate it!
