Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- Cut zucchini and eggplant: remove the stems, and slice vegetables into 1/4 inch thick pieces - either length-wise into sheets or cut into round pieces. Note: carefully use a mandoline slicer if cutting lengthwise, or cut by hand with a knife if slicing into round pieces.
- Roast the vegetables: brush two sheet pans with oil, then arrange vegetable pieces on pans and bake for 20 minutes.
- Layer lasagna: when eggplant and zucchini are cooked, layer in lasagna. Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of the baking dish, arrange one layer of eggplant slices, one layer of zucchini, then sprinkle with fresh chopped herbs, and top with mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Repeat layers until ingredients are used up.
- How to layer the top: when you get to the final layer, instead of doing cheese after the vegetables, layer with sauce first, then sprinkle the cheese.
- Bake: then bake at 425F uncovered for 20 minutes, cheese should be melted and browned. Top with fresh herbs and serve right away!

PASTA WITH EGGPLANT AND ZUCCHINI
This timeless summer pasta dish was brought to The Times in 1991 by Pierre Franey in one of his 60-Minute Gourmet columns. Like so many of his dishes, it is at once elegant and easy, and no trouble to put together on a weeknight. Sauté the sliced eggplant and zucchini until golden while you make a quick sauce of canned crushed tomatoes, olive oil, garlic and herbs in another pot. Throw everything together, and simmer for about 15 minutes. Toss with cooked pasta and a shower of Parmesan. Dig in.

Delicious pasta-free lasagna! Feel free to add more herbs to the tomato layer. I added some chopped fresh rosemary and parsley because I had it at home. I also added some red chilli to the cheese layer for a little more zip.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Set out a row of several paper towels (as you cook the veggies, transfer them to the paper towels to drain excess moisture). Spritz a large pan evenly with nonstick spray, and bring to high heat.
- Once hot, lay as many zucchini and mushroom slices as you can fit flat in the pan, and cook for about 2 minutes per side. Continue until all slices are cooked, removing the pan from heat and re-spraying it between batches.
- Cook eggplant slices for about 3 minutes per side, continuing to work in batches (removing and re-spraying pan each time).
- Next, in a large bowl, mix the spinach, egg white, ricotta cheese, basil, salt and nutmeg. Stir well and set aside.
- Spray a deep 8" X 8" pan with nonstick spray. Pour half (8 oz.) of the tomato sauce into the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle with one clove chopped garlic.
- Then, layer half of the veggie slices on top in assorted order. Spread half of the spinach mixture on top.
- Layer with remaining veggies, and then spread the rest of the spinach mixture on top. Cover with the remaining tomato sauce and the rest of the chopped garlic.
- Then, evenly top the lasagna with the mozzarella and grated cheese. Finally, bake uncovered for 30 minutes (or until the cheese on top starts to brown).
- Let cool, cut into 4 pieces, and dig in!
