Fresh Zucchini and Summer Squash Lasagna

My garden is exploding with fresh delicious vegetables and I know it's August because the rain doesn't stop, so tonight is lasagna night!

Ingredients:
1 zucchini; thinly sliced
1 summer squash ; thinly sliced
10-15 fresh leaves of basil
 2 cups Mozzarella Cheese
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
4 cups Tomato Sauce

1 large can of tomato sauce; I used homemade sauce I pulled out from the freezer..YUM!
Alfredo sauce
No-Boil Lasagna Noodles (I love the Wegmans brand no-boil noodles, it turns out perfect every time!)

Alfredo Sauce:
1 1/2 cups milk
2 TB butter
2 TB flour
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

Melt butter in pan once browned, add flour to make a rue.  Add milk, simmer, once thickened, add cheese.

Pre-Heat Oven to 350 degrees.

Assemble Lasagna:
1 or 2 ladles of sauce on bottom of pan
place lasagna noodles on top
thin layer of Alfredo sauce and mozzarella cheese
layer of summer squash
layer of lasagna noodles (lay the opposite direction as the first layer)
1 or 2 ladles of sauce
layer of zucchini
fresh basil
layer of lasagna noodles
Pour the rest of the Alfredo sauce over the noodles
top with Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheeses

Bake for 1 1/2 hours with foil.  Take foil off the last 20 minutes to brown up! 
Enjoy :)
