To make your tomato sauce:

Boil water and plunge the tomatoes into it for 2 minutes. Put them under cold water to remove the skin easily.

Add the tomatoes, sugar, salt, pepper, thyme, laurel, oregano, grated garlic clove, tomato paste and 100 ml of water.

Cover and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes before simmering on low heat for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

Slice the eggplant and zucchini lengthwise (0.50 cm thick).

Preheat the oven to 220°C. On a baking sheet covered with baking paper, add a layer of vegetables and brush with olive oil. Add salt and pepper and bake for 10 minutes. Repeat the process until all the vegetables have been put in the oven. Turn the oven down to 180°C to cook the lasagna.

While the vegetables are cooking, cut the tomatoes and mozzarella into slices.

In a gratin dish, add a layer of lasagna plates, a layer of eggplant, a layer of zucchini, a layer of tomato slices and add the tomato sauce. Sprinkle with basil and repeat until you have 3 layers (or 4 if you have enough ingredients left).

Then add the mozzarella slices, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and season.
