Lightened Lasaga

This is a fast, easy and healthier version of an old classic...

8 No Cook Lasagna Pieces
5 Cloves Garlic
3 Ripe Tomatoes
1 Can San Marzano Tomatoes
1 Glass Red Wine
Salt/Pepper
Parsley
Parmesan Reggiano Cheese
Fresh Basil
Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
In a blender add the garlic, fresh tomatoes and San Marzano Tomatoes
Puree till smooth
Add the red wine, salt/pepper and parsley to tomatoes
Stir to incorporate
Add a handful of Parmesan Reggiano cheese to tomatoes
Stir and check flavors
Re-season if necessary
Coat the bottom of a baking dish with tomato mixture
Place two lasagna pieces next to each other (do not over lap lasagna pieces - they will expand while baking)
Top lasagna pieces with more tomatoes, some basil and mozzarella cheese
Repeat layers end with mozzarella on the top
Place in oven and bake 45 minutes
Remove from oven, cool and cut into sections
Serve with a tossed salad and bread
