Lasagna is an Italian classic that’s loved by people from all over the world. It is a dish that is typically made up of pasta sheets, tomato sauce, meat, and cheese. A traditional lasagna recipe calls for a lot of carbs which isn’t recommended for those who are watching their carb intake. If this is your case or you’re just looking for a different way to make lasagna, you can try using zucchini instead of pasta.

In this article, we will show you how to make a healthy, low-carb, and delicious lasagna using zucchini. So, put on your apron and let’s get cooking.

What you need:

– 2-3 large zucchinis
– 1 lb ground beef or turkey
– 1 onion, chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 jar of tomato sauce (24 oz)
– 3 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1 cup of ricotta cheese
– 1 egg
– salt and pepper, to taste
– olive oil

Preparation:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with olive oil and set it aside.

2. Wash the zucchinis and trim off both ends. Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the zucchinis lengthwise into thin strips, about 1/8 inch thick.

3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic. Add the ground beef or turkey and cook until browned. Add the tomato sauce and stir to combine. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

4. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg and add the ricotta cheese. Mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.

5. Time to assemble the lasagna. Layer the zucchini slices on the bottom of the baking dish. Add a layer of the meat sauce on top of the zucchini layer. Sprinkle some shredded mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers, alternating zucchini, meat sauce, and cheese until you reach the top of the dish. Spread a layer of the ricotta cheese mixture on top.

6. Cover the top with a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese.

7. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

8. Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. This will make it easier to slice and serve.

9. Enjoy your delicious and healthy zucchini lasagna.

In conclusion, using zucchini instead of pasta is a great way to enjoy lasagna without the added carbs. This recipe is perfect for people who are watching their carb intake or for those who just want to try something new and delicious. We encourage you to give it a try and share it with your loved ones. Bon appetit!
