Roasted Zucchini & Cherry Tomato Lasagna

Okay, so looking very much like a lasagna I made back in early September, but tasting completely different. This is a zesty not creamy lasagna and it is really delicious. It doesn’t contain any cheese sauce, just slices of fresh mozzarella and lots and lots of fresh basil, oh and did I mention capers?
