Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 medium Zucchini, sliced 1/8 inch thick
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Parmesan Cheese
- 0.5 cup Ricotta Cheese
- 15 oz Tomato Sauce
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 3 tsp Dried Oregano
- 1 tsp Dried Basil
- 0.25 tsp Pepper
- 2 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground Cayenne Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice the zucchini into 1/8-inch thick rounds. Sprinkle salt over the slices and let them sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Afterward, pat them dry with paper towels.
- In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing for about two minutes until fragrant and translucent. Stir in the ground beef, cooking until browned. Drain any excess fat before adding the tomato sauce and seasonings. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of shredded mozzarella, ½ cup of ricotta, and ½ cup of parmesan cheese. Stir until well blended.
- Grease an 8×8 inch casserole dish. Start by layering half of the meat sauce at the bottom, followed by a layer of zucchini slices. Spread 1/3 of the cheese mixture over the zucchini. Repeat with the remaining meat sauce, zucchini, and cheese mixture, finishing with the remaining mozzarella on top.
- Cover the lasagna with foil and place it in the oven. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes until the top is bubbly and browned.
- Let the lasagna cool for about 20 minutes before slicing.
