If you hate green peppers, substitute 1 package of frozen chopped spinach cooked and drained -- or if you're really into broccoli, substitute a package of it.
Sauté garlic and onion in oil in large non-stick skillet until onion is transparent. Add mushrooms and green peppers and sauté 4 minutes. Crumble the veggie ground round into this and remove from heat.
In a large bowl beat egg and egg white, basil, parsley, and ricotta. Stir in mozzarella.
Mix spaghetti sauce, tomato sauce and water. Spray 10" x 14" pan and put in 1/4 of the sauce, then a layer of the uncooked noodles.
Don't put noodles too close together, as they will expand quite a bit as they cook. Add half of cheese mix, then half of vegetable-meat mixture and 1/4 of the sauce. Sprinkle with parmesan. Repeat this process.
Top with final layer of noodles and last 1/4 of sauce and parmesan
Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 60 minutes, then uncover and bake for 20 minutes. Take out of oven, cover and let sit for 15 minutes to firm.
The only "tricks" to this recipe are the extra water for the noodles to absorb and the extra baking time so they can cook properly.
