Slow baked vegetable lasagna

This is a real tasty vegetarian dish or another one of those recipes when you feel you need some vegetables in your diet and is made on top of the stove. (for 4)

1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta or cottage cheese

1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp garlic powder
2 cans stewed tomatoes (or Italian style stewed tomatoes)
Italian spices
2 medium zucchinis, diced or thinly sliced (2 ½ cups) **
1 cup macaroni or 4 lasagna noodles, broken up

The process

1 – In a small bowl, mix together Mozzarella, Ricotta, Parmesan, egg, oregano, and garlic powder.

2 – Spread 1/2 can of stewed tomatoes (broken up) on bottom of baking pot. Sprinkle Italian spices over tomatoes. Sprinkle 1/3 of zucchini over sauce and top with 1/3 of cheese mixture.
