Ingredients
  

For the Noodles

  • 2 large zucchinis, sliced thinly
  • 1 teaspoon salt

For the Meat Sauce

  • 1 pound ground beef or turkey Choose your preferred meat.
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can crushed tomatoes (15 oz)
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Cheese Mixture

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Zucchini Noodles

  • Start by salting the zucchini slices and allowing them to sit for about 15 minutes to draw out moisture. This will help prevent a watery lasagna.
  • After 15 minutes, pat the zucchini slices dry with a paper towel.

Make the Meat Sauce

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground meat with the diced onion and garlic.
  • After the meat is fully cooked, add crushed tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Allow the sauce to simmer for about 10 minutes.

Create the Cheese Mixture

  • In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese with the egg, half of the mozzarella, and half of the Parmesan cheese.
  • Stir until well mixed.

Assembly

  • In a baking dish, start layering the lasagna. Begin with a layer of meat sauce, followed by a layer of zucchini noodles.
  • Add a layer of the cheese mixture, then repeat until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of meat sauce topped with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan.

Bake

  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for enhanced flavor. Be mindful of moisture from zucchini by salting and drying properly. You can experiment with different cheeses or add spinach to the ricotta mixture for added nutrients.
