This is a recipe inspired by Shirelle.  It really is super delicious and very nutritious.


Relly’s Pesto, Zucchini lasagna
This is gluten free lasagna that uses zucchini as the noodles and a cashew Basil pesto as the filling.  It is very delicious and very nutritious.
4 zucchini
Lots of basil
1 cup of cashews
Mozzarella cheese
Grated parmesan cheese
Olive oil
2 cups sliced tomatoes

Make a pesto using the basil, cashews, olive oil, 1 clove garlic, salt, pepper, parmesan cheese.
Cut the zucchini thinly lengthwise
Sauté in hot oil the zucchini for a minute, don’t over crowd the pan just one layer at a time.
Put a layer of zucchini in the bottom of a casserole dish.
Spread a nice layer of the pesto over top it.
Add another layer of the zucchini on top of the pesto
Spread the remaining pesto on this. 
Add a layer of mozzarella cheese
Add the tomatoes on top, salt and pepper them

Put in broiler for ~10 minutes, cheese is melted and tomatoes start to turn a bit golden.
