olive oil vegetable spray
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
1/2 cup grated part−skim mozzarella cheese

Sprinkle each shell with 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese. Arrange the mushroom slices around the outside of the shell. Cover the shell with squash slices and then, tomato slices and bell pepper. Top with fresh basil, the remaining garlic powder, the remaining mozzarella cheese, and the Parmesan cheese. Coat again with cooking spray.
