  "Nom nom NOM!" is all I can say. This is a great variation on a classic vegetarian dish.
  
  Enjoy!

  • 2 teaspoons canola oil

  • 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped

  Directions:
  
  1.)  Line the bottom of a 9-in. springform pan coated with nonstick cooking spray with heavy-duty foil; set aside. In a large nonstick skillet, saute the mushrooms, zucchini, green pepper, onion and garlic in oil until tender; drain.
  2.)  In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese and egg substitute. Stir in the spinach, feta, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper. Stir in mushroom mixture.
