A delicious vegetable lasagna no pasta noodles necessary! Yes, it’s all veggies, cheeses and marinara sauce for a tasty gluten free, vegetarian dinner. (You won’t miss the noodles!) This is the perfect dish for using fresh veggies from the garden or just when you are craving Italian food on a gluten free diet.

I’ve been wanting to try this for a long time. I love zucchini and eggplant by my husband does not. So one night when he wasn’t going to be home for dinner I made this vegetable lasagna without noodles for myself and I loved it.

I knew I would. What’s not to love? It’s full of a variety of cheeses and creamy ricotta and some of my favorite veggies. I also liked it because it was gluten free and vegetarian which is a nice change sometimes.

Unfortunately neither my hubby nor my son will eat this but maybe that’s a good thing as that means more for me. I frozen a few pieces for a quick and tasty lunch!

I pretty much followed the same method as my mom’s unforgettable lasagna. For a traditional lasagna I really think it’s the best I ever had so check it out.

However I skipped the meat sauce in the original recipe. If you want you can easily add ground beef, ground turkey or even Italian sausage to the marinara sauce to make a meat sauce.

Just heat up a pan to medium heat and brown the ground beef. Then add the sauce and mix well. Cook for a few minutes so the flavors blend together well.  

Recipe ingredients I used.

The basic ingredients I used I this vegetable lasagna were vegetables, ricotta cheese, egg yolks, fresh parsley, marinara sauce and cheeses. If you want to add a bit of heat you can also use some hot pepper flakes. Mix it in with the sauce. 

Fresh Vegetables
I used eggplant, zucchini and bell peppers for this dish. There aren’t many other veggies that I think would work well as “noodles” so I would stick with these three or use just one of them if you want. Fresh spinach would also work well in addition to the noodle layers made with the veggies.

Ricotta Cheese
I like whole milk ricotta cheese because it’s richer and tastier in my opinion but you can use lower fat if you want.

Marinara Sauce
I love Rao’s marinara sauce and it was great in this recipe. I also love Trader Joes marinara in a can. I really like the taste of both and I use them a lot in my cooking because of their amazing flavor. However you can just use your favorite pasta sauce for this recipe.

Cheeses
I like the combination of parmesan and mozzarella cheese for this dish. The parmesan adds flavor while the mozzarella as that gooey cheese factor. Provolone is also good in a dish like this.

Egg Yolks & Parsley
This helps thicken the ricotta mixture and is necessary. The fresh parsley is for flavor and color. You could also use fresh basil leaves if you love that flavor but parsley works great.

How to cut the veggies.

Start by cutting off the tops and bottoms of the bell peppers and cleaned out the seeds. It should look like wide tube. Cut that in half and you will get two flat pieces of peppers.

The key for the eggplant and zucchini is to slice them very thin. I use one of my favorite kitchen tools – this mandoline that I bought at a tupperware party. However I also have one from Aldi that was $5 and it works great too! If you have good knife skills just make sure you slice them lengthwise very thin.

If you decide to use other veggies just make sure you slice them thinly and if they are a harder vegetable like carrots for instance, you will want to precook them in the microwave or by boiling them first.

How to make vegetable lasagna no pasta.

Preheat oven to 400°F and spray a baking or casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

Step 1: The hardest thing about this dish is getting the veggies soft. Get a large pot of water boiling over high heat. Cut the peppers as mentioned above and then add the peppers and cook for 6 minutes. Take them out and let them cool. Peel off the skins if you can and set aside.

You can also cook them in the microwave for about 5 minutes. It’s hard to get the skins off though but you can keep them on if you want.

Step 2: Get out a medium bowl and add the ricotta, egg yolks and chopped fresh parsley. Mix well and set aside.

Step 3: Get out the prepared baking dish and add a single layer of eggplant, then spoon ⅓ of the ricotta mixture over top. Pour ⅓ of the tomato sauce over the layer of ricotta filling and then top the layer of marinara sauce with ⅓ of the parmesan cheese and then ⅓ of the mozzarella cheese.

I did a layer each of peppers, zucchini slices and eggplant slices.

Step 4: Begin again with the zucchini slices for the next 2nd layer and finally with the peppers for the 3rd layer. The order for each layer is veggies -> ricotta -> marinara -> cheese then repeat.

Step 5: Cover with a piece of aluminum foil and place the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes then take off the foil and bake for 15 minutes more until the veggie lasagna is fork tender and the cheese is golden brown. Note baking time may vary depending on the thickness of the veggies.

You can also place it under the broiler for 3-4 minutes to brown the cheese if it is not to your liking after baking for a total of 45 minutes.

Step 6: Let set for 15 minutes to cool and set up before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container. Please scroll down to view a printable recipe card.

As you can see below this is a bit runny because of the liquid in the veggies but it does not taste watery in my opinion. This also has a lot of ricotta cheese which I like but if you want you can skip the top layer if you don’t like it as much as I do.

Serve this veggie lasagna with a simple green salad and add some garlic bread if you aren’t gluten free of course!

More gluten free vegetable main dishes to try.

Below are some of my favorite recipes for veggie main dishes that don’t have any bread, pasta, etc. so they are gluten free too. These recipes are perfect for meatless meals or when you you want something a bit lighter for dinner.

Well I hope you like this veggie lasagna without pasta as much as I did. Unfortunately my husband doesn’t eat zucchini nor eggplant so this was all for me. But maybe that’s a good thing? 😉

A delicious veggie lasagna no pasta! Yes, it’s all veggies, cheeses and marinara sauce for a tasty gluten free, vegetarian dinner. (You won’t miss the noodles!)

Instructions

Notes

I like Rao’s marinara and Trader Joe’s Tuscan Marinara in a can because these sauces have more of the savory garlic and onion flavor and are not too sweet. However you can use whatever pasta sauce you like best.

If you want to add a bit of heat you can also use some hot pepper flakes and mix it in with the sauce.

Also I did not use added salt or black pepper. The sauce and cheeses tend to add enough of salt for my tastes but you can sprinkle salt and ground black pepper over the veggies if you wish.

Lastly if you want you can use minced fresh basil leaves in place of the parsley or in addition to it if you like that flavor.

NASHVILLE, TN, UNITED STATES

08.28.2023

When U.S. Marine Corps Pvt. Daniela Portillo first sat down with her Marine recruiter, he placed 11 engraved tags on the desk in front of her. These tags, known as “benefit tags”, present tangible and intangible benefits to help identify the motivations of potential Marines. Portillo took a moment to survey her options, then pointed to the “Pride of Belonging”.

Portillo, soft spoken and shy, graduated Osbourn High School in Manassas, Virginia, in 2022. She planned to enlist in the Marine Corps alongside her sister, Kimberly. Kimberly was her close confidant, and Portillo had always looked up to her. In high school, Kimberly had decided to join the Marine Corps in order to open the door to educational opportunities. When she approached Portillo with the idea of earning the title together, Portillo immediately said yes.

However, Portillo began to experience intense homesickness for her home country of El Salvador. Her aspiration to join the Marine Corps had weakened, and she felt lost and aimless. She decided to temporarily postpone her enlistment in order to spend time there with her relatives.

After a few months, rejuvenated from the time spent with family, Portillo returned to the United States and resided in Tennessee with her father. She started working, but didn’t intend to stay at her customer service job long term – it was just a means to get back on her feet. But the weeks stretched into months, and soon a year had passed.

Kimberly, a year into her enlistment, reached out to her sister and encouraged her to reclaim her original goal. Longing for a purpose, and uplifted by her sister’s words, Portillo contacted Staff Sgt. Sean Clark, a recruiter out of Recruiting Substation (RSS) Murfreesboro, Recruiting Station Nashville.

On April 24, 2023, Portillo stepped on the infamous yellow footprints abroad Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island, South Carolina. These painted footprints, arranged in a formation outside the base’s Receiving Building, signifies an individual’s new status of “recruit”. The next 13 weeks hold physical and mental challenges that will push recruits to their limit. Their voices will be hoarse from the yelling that is their only authorized form of communication, they will be exhausted due to long nights and early mornings, and they will be homesick from weeks separated from loved ones.

Portillo determined her secret to survival was to embrace an optimistic mindset – and this is what she did.

“I always tried to make the best of it,” she explained. “If I was being negative about it, I just knew it was going to be harder for me to get through.”

Portillo successfully earned the title of Marine, and graduated recruit training on July 21, 2023. She then returned to RSS Murfreesboro as a recruiter assistant under the Command Recruiting Program. This program offers new Marines the opportunity to return to their recruiting station in support of recruiting efforts. As a fresh face to the Marine Corps, they serve as a link between their fellow peers and recruiters. Portillo visits high schools with recruiters, where she interacts with teachers and students in order to establish a Marine Corps presence.

Portillo expressed excitement for the next stage of her career, which is Marine Combat Training (MCT) at Camp Geiger, North Carolina. There, for 29 days, she will acquire combat-based skills required of all non-infantry Marines in order to ensure fighting readiness. After MCT, she is slated to attend her Military Occupational Specialty training as a logistics specialist.

A longing for purpose is what drove Portillo to enlist in the Marine Corps, and she cites this as something that will carry her throughout her career.

“I felt lost and like I had no purpose,” Portillo stated. “And the Marine Corps opened me up to my purpose. And I feel like I’ll discover it more fully the longer I’m in.”

Hong Kong was starting to feel the impact of Super Typhoon Saola as winds reached hurricane force and rain lashed the city.

The government said it will raise the No. 9 storm signal — the second highest — at 6:20 p.m. That will be the first time in three years such a warning has been issued. The city earlier closed the stock market along with schools and grounded most public transportation ahead of the storm’s arrival later Friday.

The storm, which was 90 km (56 miles) away from the financial hub at 6 p.m., currently has sustained winds of 210 km/hour near the center, according to the local observatory. That makes it as strong as a category 4 major hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson wind scale.

Gale force winds were affecting the territory, with occasional storm force winds offshore and hurricane force winds on some high ground, the observatory said in its latest update. There were also heavy squally showers, it said.

The storm, which is on track to be the strongest to affect the city since at least Mangkhut in 2018, is a major test for Chief Executive John Lee’s government. Mangkhut provoked public criticism after roads remained blocked for days by some of the tens of thousands of trees toppled by the typhoon and people struggled to get to work.

Saola is forecast to be within 50 km south of Hong Kong late Friday and early Saturday, the observatory said, warning that a storm surge will cause water levels to rise rapidly in low-lying coastal areas. The maximum water level may be similar to when Mangkhut hit Hong Kong, it said. Mangkhut was 100 km away from the city at its closest point.

Chief Secretary Chan Kwok-ki, who is leading a government task force to deal with the storm, warned residents to stay indoors.

“This can be a very destructive typhoon,” the chief secretary said Thursday, flanked by heads of various government departments. “We hope to minimize the damage.”

In the past 40 years, only five storms have prompted the raising of the highest signal in Hong Kong, according to observatory data. The No. 10 signal means hurricane force winds reaching a sustained speed of at least 118 km an hour.

Residents took advantage of the calm conditions on Friday morning to do some outdoor exercise, walk their dogs and stock up on food before the storm arrived. At one Wellcome supermarket in Wanchai on Hong Kong island, vegetables, fresh meat and hot food were running out by mid-morning, while instant noodles and pasta were in short supply.

About 460 flights in total have been canceled on Friday, according to the local airport authority. Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd., the city’s flag carrier, said it halted all Hong Kong flights from 2 p.m. Friday until 10 a.m. Saturday.

In Hong Kong, all inner harbor and outlying islands ferry services were suspended, along with all bus services.

Nearby Shenzhen airport halted all flights from noon, the airport operator said. Businesses closed from 4 p.m., while transport would stop three hours later, the government said. Trains traveling to and from Guangdong province would be halted from 8 p.m. Friday to Saturday evening.

The Hong Kong exchange halted stock trading because of rules requiring it when signal no. 8 or above is in place. Trading halts due to severe weather are seen as increasingly antiquated given that the global finance industry adjusted to remote working during the pandemic.

With most orders now received and executed electronically, the case is growing for Hong Kong to ensure continuous trading in bad weather. Financial Secretary Paul Chan said earlier this year that the city will explore arrangements to allow stock trading under severe weather.

China’s national weather authorities reiterated their highest alert for the typhoon on Friday morning. They warned of severe weather in the coastal provinces of Fujian and Guangdong, and urged local officials to be ready for flash flooding. China dealt with several bouts of extreme weather this summer, with dozens of deaths in northern areas including Beijing that were caused by flooding from Typhoon Doksuri.

Another storm is expected to affect Taiwan and eastern China in coming days. Severe tropical storm Haikui, with maximum sustained winds of 110 km per hour, is forecast to be close to northern Taiwan on Saturday evening or Sunday morning before making landfall in mainland China near Fuzhou.

Currency and fixed income markets in the Philippines were closed on Friday after government offices including the central bank were shut due to monsoon rains enhanced by Saola and other storms.

Just how To Grow Your Micro-Business

You could think about some of the searchings for of a study by Statistics Canada if you desire to expand your micro-business (specified as a service with less than 5 staff members).

1. The Findings

According to “Growth Determinants of Micro-Businesses in Canada” (Evangelia Papadaki and also Bassima Chami, Small Business Policy Branch, Industry Canada), the study by Statistics Canada exposed the following:

Micro-businesses obtain a lot of their suggestions from family members, consumers, providers as well as buddies. Accounting professionals are a lot more generally spoken with for service recommendations than lenders as well as attorneys.

Conclusion of secondary school was mentioned as a variable for development in the micro-business. Possibly remarkably, university or college education and learning was marked down as an aspect for success.

Age or sex of entrepreneur did not influence service development. Neither was being an immigrant a substantial variable.

For development, wanting to pass on, think danger, and also share possession all appeared to be aspects for success.

Development of the neighborhood market was more vital for development than the export market for the micro-business.

Development micro-businesses involve and also introduce in shopping tasks.

2. The Opportunities

You do n`t always require a whole lot of cash for specialist experts to expand your micro-business. Age, sex or nation of beginning are not pertinent aspects for expanding your micro-business.

Scientists have established the effectiveness of vaccines they developed to prevent the disfiguring skin disease leishmaniasis in animal studies, and Phase 1 human trial planning is in motion for the most promising candidate.

But in new work, the research team has determined how these vaccine candidates, created using mutated disease-causing parasites, prompt molecular-level changes in host cells that have specific roles in helping generate the immune response.

Despite using the same CRISPR gene-editing technique to make the vaccines, the two species of Leishmania parasites on which the vaccines are based produced very different effects in the immunized host: One enables the immune response to unfold by inhibiting a host metabolite that suppresses immune activity, and the other drives up activation of a chemical pathway in a way that primes immune cells to fight pathogens.

“I think it’s an important finding in the sense that we show that in the big picture, yes, these vaccines are protective, but at the molecular level the mechanisms can be totally distinct,” said Abhay Satoskar, professor of pathology in The Ohio State University College of Medicine and co-leader of the research team.

“This is not only conceptually important, but if you can find how these things are modulating the immune response in the right direction, and identify the pathways, then perhaps those pathways could be used for developing new interventions,” said Satoskar, a senior author of two new papers describing the findings.

The primary vaccine was made by editing the genome of Leishmania major, which causes cutaneous leishmaniasis in tropical and subtropical regions of the Eastern Hemisphere, and a backup vaccine was made using Leishmania mexicana, a more virulent species found in South, Central and North America.

The study findings on the metabolic effects of the L. major and L. mexicana vaccines were published Aug. 29, 2023, in the journal iScience.

Leishmaniasis is prevalent in 90 countries affecting about 12 million people globally at any given time, but no licensed human vaccine yet exists, and the only drug treatment for the skin lesions requires weeks of daily injections with unpleasant side effects. The more lethal visceral leishmaniasis affects organs and is fatal if left untreated.

In developing these live attenuated vaccines, Satoskar and colleagues applied new technology to the century-old Middle Eastern practice of leishmanization—introducing the live parasite to the skin to create a small infection that once healed, leads to life-long immunity against further disease.

The researchers previously reported using CRISPR to delete centrin, the gene for a protein that supports the parasite’s physical structure, from the genomes of both L. major and L. mexicana. Experiments showed vaccinated mice remained clear of skin lesions and the number of parasites at the infection site were held at bay.

Digging deeper into the vaccines’ effects in these new studies, researchers inoculated mouse ears with a normal parasite, a mutated parasite vaccine or a placebo, mimicking the bite of a sand fly—in humans and animals, leishmania is transmitted through the bite of infected sand flies.

The team used mass spectrometry at the inoculation site to identify the most prominent metabolites—the amino acids, vitamins and other small molecules produced as a result of metabolism, the many chemical reactions that keep the body functioning.

Results showed the L. major vaccine promoted a pro-inflammatory metabolic response in mice by using the amino acid tryptophan to block signals from a molecule that helps suppress immunity. The L. mexicana vaccine, on the other hand, enriched a series of metabolic reactions that activated the necessary pro-inflammatory work of front-line immune cells.

“We took an unbiased approach to analyze the metabolites detectable at the inoculation site. There is growing interest in understanding the role immune cell metabolism plays in modulating immune function,” said Satoskar, also a professor of microbiology at Ohio State.

“We also learned that by removing the centrin gene, we got rid of the parasites’ ability to manipulate metabolic pathways in a way that would impair development of protective immunity, and in fact, promoted vaccine-induced immunity. That’s important to know for a live attenuated vaccine—there is a unique case for each parasite species.”

Though this information is not required for regulatory approval of these vaccines, the data could prove useful to supplementing vaccination.

“There are only four existing drugs for leishmaniasis,” Satoskar said. “We need to know the mechanism of vaccines so the knowledge can be used to develop newer vaccines or newer drugs that target these pathways. What you learn from immunomodulation can be used for developing other therapeutic agents.”

Co-authors of both papers include Sreenivas Gannavaram and Hira Nakhasi, who co-led the L. major study, and Nazli Azodi and Hannah Markle, all of the FDA; Greta Volpedo of Ohio State; Timur Oljuskin of the USDA Animal Parasitic Diseases Laboratory; Shinjiro Hamano of Nagasaki University; and Greg Matlashewski of McGill University. Thalia Pacheco-Fernandez of Ohio State co-authored the L. mexicana paper and Parna Bhattacharya of FDA co-authored the L. major paper.
