Ingredients
2 medium zucchini
500g ground meat (can be beef, chicken, turkey or plant-based meat for a vegetarian/vegan version)
1 chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 can of tomato sauce
1 cup ricotta or cottage cheese
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Oregano and fresh basil for dressing
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Wash the zucchini and cut them into thin slices lengthwise, approximately 0.5 cm thick.
You can use a vegetable slicer to do this. - In a large frying pan, heat some olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté until golden. - Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until completely cooked.
Season with salt, pepper and other spices to taste. - Add the tomato sauce to the meat mixture and simmer for a few minutes.
Add oregano and chopped fresh basil for flavor. - In a separate bowl, mix the ricotta or cottage cheese with half the grated Parmesan cheese.
- In a baking dish, start assembling the zucchini lasagna.
Place a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom of the pan.
Then make alternating layers of zucchini slices, the cheese mixture and the meat sauce, repeating until all the ingredients are used. - Finish with a layer of grated mozzarella cheese and sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top.
- Cover the baking tray with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the zucchini lasagna is golden and bubbly. - Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
