Ingredients

  • 4 cups Thin Sliced Zucchini I had smaller zucchini so for me this was 3. Just make sure you have about 4-5 cups.
  • 1.5 lbs. Lean Ground Beef I use 90% Lean
  • 1 tsp. Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp. Oregano
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 20 ounces Pasta Sauce I use jarred marinara like Rao's Brand
  • 1.5 cups Part Skim Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1 cup Part Skim Ricotta Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese Finely grated over the lasagna
  • Basil for Garnish

Instructions

  • Slice your zucchini very thin using a knife or a mandolin slicer. You want nice thin slices.
    4 cups Thin Sliced Zucchini
  • Brown your ground beef and add salt and pepper, garlic powder and oregano to season. Pour over marinara and allow to simmer for at least 20 minutes on low.

  • When the meat sauce has had a chance to simmer- get out a skillet (preferably one you can transfer to an oven) and heat a little olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add the zucchini to the pan and saute for about 5-10 minutes. I like my zucchini to have some bite- so stay towards the 5 minute mark. You can cook to your liking.
  • When you are done with the zucchini, make sure it's evenly distributed across the pan OR if you are using a casserole dish, then transfer it there.
  • Pour the sauce over top the zucchini. Add the mozzarella, dollop the ricotta over top in about 4-6 dollops and then grate the Parmesan over top.

  • Turn your oven to broil and broil for 4-5 minutes ( watch it because broilers can burn things fast!)
  • Remove from the oven and garnish with basil. Serve!
