Instructions
- Preheat the oven at 375°F (190°C or gas mark 5).
- On medium heat in a stove top pan, brown the garlic and onion in 1 TBSP (15 ml) of the olive oil.
- Next, add in the tomatoes, mushrooms, and red bell pepper.
- Finally, add in the oregano, salt, and black pepper for seasoning.
- Stir frequently till red peppers and mushrooms are cooked.
- Meanwhile, grease a 9x13-inch (23x33-cm) glass baking dish with the remaining olive oil, and put some of the cooked vegetable mixture on the bottom of the oven-proof dish.
- Then layer it with the zucchini (pasta) strips and sprinkle some of the fresh basil on top.
- Repeat this process to make more layers, until you have used up all the cooked mixture and zucchini strips.
- Bake it in the oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until the zucchini is cooked through – it should be slightly golden on the edges.
- You could cook it covered with foil for 20 minutes, and then remove the foil for the last 15 to 20 minutes so that the excess moisture is released.

This layered lasagna is time-consuming, but well worth the effort once it comes out of the oven.
