What sides can I serve?
With a classic lasagna, we like to serve a nice garlic bread. If you’re going for a low carb meal, you might want to swap that out with our yummy Cauliflower Breadsticks or a nice green salad.
Can I add to this recipe?
Absolutely! We love experimenting with recipes, so you should too. Try swapping the tomato sauce for a white sauce, or add mushrooms, spinach, cottage cheese in place of the ricotta, add some Italian ‘N Pizza Seasoning (#1432), or use sweet potato in place of the zucchini. However you make it, trust us when we say- Your taste buds will THANK you!

Zucchini Lasagna
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. Ground Beef (#2622) or Ground Turkey (#3568)
- 1 1/2 tsp coarse salt (#1146)
- Splash of Avocado Oil (#3516)
- 1/2 cup Chopped Onion (#5772)
- 3 tsp Kirkland Minced Garlic (#1289)
- 1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
- 2 Tbsp fresh basil, chopped
- Black pepper (#1030), to taste
- 3 medium zucchini, sliced 1/8″ thick
- 1 1/2 cups part-skim ricotta
- 1/4 cup Parmigiano Reggiano
- 1 large egg
- 4 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Instructions:
- To begin, brown the meat in a medium sauce pan and season with salt. Drain any excess fat and set meat aside.
- Next, add oil to the pan and saute the garlic and onions for about 2 minutes. Add the meat back to the pan along with tomatoes, basil, salt and pepper.
- Now, simmer covered on low for 30-40 minutes. You want the sauce to be thick.
- While that simmers, slice the zucchini into 1/8″ thick slices, lightly salt, set aside. This take out the excess moisture. After about 10 minutes, use a paper towel to soak up extra moisture.
- This step is optional*. You can grill the zucchini for 3 minutes on each side, until slightly browned. Drain excess moisture as needed.
- Preheat the oven to 375F.
- Then, mix together the ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, and egg.
- In a 9×12 casserole dish, spread 1/2 cup of the sauce on the bottom of the pan, top with zucchini to cover. Then, spread 1/2 cup of the ricotta cheese mixture, topped with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese. Repeat these steps until all the ingredients are gone.
- For the last layer, top with the extra zucchini and sauce, then cover with foil (#1963) and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake an additional 20 minutes, and place the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella and continue to bake until melted, about 10 minutes.
- Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.
