Don’t want to buy store bought lasagna noodles?

or perhaps you want to be getting more things green in your diet?

or maybe you are on a low carb diet?

Well in that case this is perfect for you. When I discovered zucchini lasagna I was super excited! Zucchini takes on the flavor of what it is cooked with very well. So it tastes very similar to normal lasagna.

You will need these…

Ingredients
2-3 large zucchini
3-4 tomatoes
Hamburger Meat
Ricotta Cheese
Cheddar Cheese
Onions (optional)

Step 1: Wash zucchini. Slice the zucchini longways with a knife or one of these handy dandy slicers. It is usually easier to get the slices nice and even with the slicer but it works with the knife too. 

 
Step 2: Cube tomatoes and set aside.
 
 
 
 
 
Step 3: Brown your hamburger meat. Cut up onion and add to meat as it’s browning.
 
 
 
 
Step 4: After meat is browned added diced tomatoes. I like to add as much of the tomato juice as possible as well.
 
 
 
Step 5: Start layering in the pan. Start with meat sauce mixture.
 
 
 
Step 6: Add a layer of zucchini placed like lasagna noodles. As you can see they aren’t always perfect but just try to cover the pan.
 
 
Step 6: Layer more Meat sauce.
 
Step 7: Add a layer of ricotta cheese.
 
Continue layering until you run out or fill the pan, usually 3 layers.
 
Layers go as follows:
 
Meat sauce
Zucchini
Meat sauce
Ricotta cheese
Zucchini
Meat sauce
Ricotta Cheese
etc.
 
 
Step 8: Top with Cheddar Cheese.
 

 Step 9: Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until cheese is melted and zucchini is tender.

And that’s it.

I love this with homemade garlic bread and Parmesan cheese on top.

Enjoy!
