lasagna & baked ziti for dummies?

[Trek420]

How to avoid the whole pasta question entirely: I make a mean vegie lasagna, not in a while so no recipe, just the concept in my head.

Take eggplant (the big kind) and slice it reeeeeeeeeeeall thin. Do the usual prep stuff of slicing it, salting (I like to use kosher salt), let it sweat on a cookie sheet or pan-I like to tilt it a little, rinse the eggplant.

You can use other vegies too: thinly sliced yellow squash, paper thin slices of Yukon gold potato .

Brush your vegies with a nice local Sonoma olive oil maybe herbs and garlic, broil them or even grill them if you have a grill nearby.

The rest is the same, layer of sauce, layer of veggies, layer of your favorite ricotta mix (and that for some reason I like a little freshly grated nutmeg mixed in), rinse lather repeat.
