Gluten Free French Ratatouille Lasagna
"This gluten free recipe is so hearty, it's the perfect soul food for the winter months. It is full of vegetables, high in fiber and nutrients and is delicious! I was making a ratatouille, when I realized I had to use the spaghetti squash I had bought, so I thought it'd be fun to see if the squash would replace the pasta in a lasagna style dish. It was a hit at my house. Enjoy!"
