Without the pasta it really doesn't qualify as lasagna. However a
zuke caserole can be a good dish too. Why can't one make a zuke
lasagna using pasta, veggie lasagnas are quiet popular, I make them
often with my garden veggies... mostly I use tortillas in lieu of
pasta (corn or wheat), lasagna noodles are a pain to cook and cost
more than other pastas... with tortillas I can build a lasagna in much
less time and with much less effort. If one wants to layer zukes I'd
suggest grilling them first or your dish will turn out like a soup...
slice large zukes lengthwise into 1/2" slabs, brush lightly with oil,
dust with seasoning, and slap on a hot grill... they'll be tastier and
a lot of the water will have disappated. I grill zukes all the time,
I grill eggplant too, I grill all kinds of veggies.
