Vegan Gluten-Free Zucchini Noodel Lasagna

This is a really great meal to cook for a group of friends that won’t keep you slaving away in the kitchen. Instead of using traditional pasta noodles for the layers of lasagna, I used zucchini and eggplant slices. They hold up great, instantly up your veggie intake and tastes delicious! Enjoy!
