Stacy's Lasagna

Here's a recipe by Stacy Waters, Holistic Health Counselor & Coach. Her website is www.vitalityharvest.com

Ok, so number one is to make the tomato powder by blending tomatoes in a blender then dehydrating on teflex sheets at around 105. When it's done you can put the dried stuff back in the blender to powder it for storage or use.

The recipe:
Sauce:
1/2 cup or so of tomato powder
a tbsp or two olive oil
italian seasonings (1 tbsp or so)
1 clove minced garlic
date paste made from 1 date
salt to taste

Lasagne:
Take a bunch of spinach, cut off the stems and put in bowl with about a tsp of salt. Work the salt into the zucchini until the leaves start to go soft. Rinse the salt off.
zucchini cut with vegetable peeler or mandolin
thin slices of onion

Layer the spinach, zucchini, onion and sauce in a pan until you're out of ingredients. You could also add other things like red bell pepper or fresh tomato to your taste.
To garnish you can use thinly cut basil or if you want you could also add brewer's yeast
