I tried this last night and LOVED it. I wish I had the NUT values.

I made this recipe for dinner Saturday night with a couple of adjustments.  I did not use the breadcrumbs, and I used my own homemade spagetti sauce ( I make a vat at a time and put in small freezer bags...no sugar, etc). 
I also cut up fresh vegies (colorfull peppers, onions, garlic, artichoke hearts, and mushrooms.  I sauteed all of this in EVOO and a dash of Balsamic Vinegar al dente.  I then topped the casserole with all of this and then added the cheese on top.

Wow...it was sooooo good.  My husband loved it.  Very easy and full of great tasting veggies.

Thanks for the recipe.  I am sure I will be sharing this one and also making it often!
