Low Carb Zucchini Lasagna

Surprisingly amazing!!

2-4 Servings

Ingredients:
1 c to 1.5 cups of Classico Tomato & Basil pasta sauce
.5 c browned ground beef, seasoned to taste (optional)
1 c to 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese, grated
2 medium size zucchini


Mix ground beef & sauce together. Slice zucchini into lasagna noodle like strips, spray cookie sheet with cooking spray. I chopped end slices & added to sauce.

Place zucchini strips on cookie sheet in a single layer, bake for about 5-8 minutes or until soft & flexible at 350 to remove excessive water. ( I forgot this step)



Lightly coat bottom of casserole dish with meat sauce mixture. Place a layer of zucchini.



Cover layer with sauce.




Then add layer of cheese, another layer of zucchini & sauce then cheese. Should have 3 layers, final layer of cheese. Bake at 350 for about 15-20 minutes. Because I forgot to pre-bake zucchini, my lasagna had excess liquid. I had to carefully pour excess out, then put on low broil for 10 minutes.

Although the texture of the zucchini was not the same as pasta, it was delicious & full of flavor. The noodles were never missed! Allow to settle for about 8-10 minutes, it maintain shape fairly well. A drier lasagna will stay in sliced shape.
Hope you enjoy!
