1 lb zucchini, cut into 1/4 inch slices
2 tsp virgin olive oil
2 Tbs water

1 tsp Italian herb seasoning
2 cups canned peeled tomatoes, drained and chopped
1 cup lowfat ricotta cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 350F. Place zucchini slices in a steamer basket
over boiling water. Cover saucepan and steam 2 minutes or until

nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Saute eggplant 2 minutes,
stirring occasionally. Add water, cover skillet and cook 3-4 minutes
until almost tender. Stir in herbs, tomato and salt and pepper to

shallow oiled baking pan. Top with a layer of half the cheese
mixture. Add a layer of half the eggplant mixture over zucchini.
