Ingredients
4-5 Zucchini
1 pack of Colby Jack Cheese
1/2 pack of Parmesan Cheese
2 (12 oz)cans of Tomato Sauce
1/2 cup of spinach
1 pinch of Nutmeg
2-3 tsps of sugar (Can substitute for brown sugar or raw sugar)
2 stalks of Brocolli
1 tsp of Minced Garlic
1 tsp of Garlic Powder
3/4 of a pint of Cherry Tomatoes (cut each in half)
1 medium sized container of Ricotta Cheese
1 tbsp of Italian Blend Seasoning
1 splash of Vegetable Broth
All purpose flour to sprinkle on bottom of pan
Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions
1.) Rinse off all Veggies and pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
2.) Cut the Zucchini the long way in 1/4 inch thickness.
3.) Take out a cookie sheet pan and lay the Zucchini on there. Season the top side of them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian Seasoning. Add a splash of vegetable broth.(If not using a non-stick pan, lightly coat bottom of pan with oil.)
4.) Put the Zucchini in the oven and roast for about 15-20 minutes or until slightly tender.
5.) In a medium pot, add the tomato sauce, spinach, minced garlic and other seasonings to the pot. Allow the sauce to simmer on low to medium heat while the Zucchini is cooking.
6.) Cut of broccoli florets from their stalks and add them to a skillets of 1/4 cup of water. Cut brocolli until they are bright green.
7.) At this point everything should be done cooking and you can begin the lasagna assembly.
8.) Sprinkle a layer of all purpose flour on the bottom of your roasting or cake pan. Layer the Zucchini first, then add the sauce, sprinkle that with the colby jack and parmesan cheeses, add a layer of the brocolli along with the cherry tomatoes (cut the tomatoes in half when you are layering), add all of the ricotta cheese in the next layer, and repeat!
9.) Finish out the top with the rest of the Colby jack and Parmesan cheeses.
10.) Put lasagna in the oven and cook for about 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

Enjoy!
