On a lined tray, place the zucchini and eggplant. Brush with some of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 13-15 min, or until golden.
Heat the remaining oil in a large, non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, mushrooms, and oregano and cook for 5 minutes, or until the onions are softened.
Remove from heat and cool. In a large bowl mix the ricotta, spinach, lemon zest. Add cooled onion mix and stir well. Adjust for salt and pepper.
Spray a 9x13 baking dish with pan spray. Line the bottom with a layer of the eggplant (should be about ½-1/3). Dollop 1/3 of the ricotta mix and spread it lightly. Top with 1 cup of the marinara, and ½ cup of bacio. Repeat for another layer.
Top the remaining zucchini with remaining sauce, mozzarella, and all the parmesan.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden.
