Ingredients
Scale
3 medium zucchini (sliced into lasagna sheets)
1 pound ground beef
1 cup ricotta cheese
2 cups mozzarella cheese (shredded)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
2 cups marinara sauce (sugar-free)
1 egg
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 small onion (chopped)
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
Fresh basil (for garnish)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the onion and garlic until translucent.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.
Stir in the marinara sauce and Italian seasoning, then remove from heat.
In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, egg, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
In a baking dish, layer zucchini sheets, followed by the ricotta mixture, ground beef mixture, and mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with mozzarella and parmesan on top.
Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes, then remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
Let it cool for a few minutes, garnish with fresh basil, and serve.
Notes
Make sure to slice zucchini thinly to mimic lasagna sheets.
For a vegetarian option, substitute ground beef with sautéed mushrooms or lentils.
Let the lasagna sit for a few minutes before slicing to help it hold its shape.
