The kids LOVE this dish and there was none left.that is like a miracle with my veggie avoidant son -). I cover with foil, then bake for 30 minutes, then take the foil off & bake for an additional 15 minutes. I sub Prego Merlot Marinara for the sauce on the bottom, drizzle EVOO over the top, sprinkle with dried Thyme (I rarely measure herbs), then sprinkle/gently insert shaved Parmesan throughout the layers & lightly over the top. The thin slices help it cook more quickly & you really don't need much sauce. I use a Mandoline to thinly slice the veggies, then I thinly layer (eggplant, yellow squash, zucchini, onion, red pepper, then repeat) with several layers of each as I lay them out. This is good on its own, but my kids & I like it tweaked even better. sprinkle of white sugar the next time I make it to see if this helps cut down the acidity of all the tomato in this dish. I did not find an eggplant that was 'small enough' to match the dices of my other veggies, so I just layered the rest, and it was not missed! I used a 9x13" glass baking dish and it turned out beautiful. My guests loved how the sliced veggies were easy to cut and gather with only their forks, everything was cooked evenly, and no one complained that there were "two different (bad) tomato flavors" going on. Plus, using tomato paste adds to the consistency of the dish. I noticed other reviewers used other red sauces they liked instead of using this recipes method of making your own, and I'm sure that'll speed up the whole process of getting it to the table, but have to say that this recipe's tomato sauce is very bright and fresh as is, and will not have the same feel of very fresh, bright tomato and herbs if you use a canned sauce. Also, I used minced garlic from a jar and only added a quarter teaspoon since I need to account for a garlic allergy in my house, but otherwise this recipe is great. I highly recommend sauteing the onions and garlic first. If you don't have a 'Mandolin' to help make precise slices, the chopping did take a long time, but it is easy for little hands to help put it together once everything is chopped.
