Super flavourful zucchini lasagna:)
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef or meat of choice
- 1 large can of tomato sauce I use homemade sauce
- 1/2 can of tomato pasta
- 1/2 green pepper
- 4-5 large zucchini’s thinly sliced
- 1/2 large white onion chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 1 tub of cottage cheese optional
- 1 large egg (optional with cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoon salt
- 2 tablespoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- Green onion optional for topping
- 1 bag of Grated cheese
Instructions
- To start you will need to prep your zucchini,
- Thinly slice your zucchini and line them on a baking sheet and put a thin layer of salt to draw out the moisture, this I find personally is best done over night but can also but done in a couple hours.
- With that aside
- You will start with browning your ground beef and season with 1 tablespoon of each seasoning except Italian seasoning. (Garlic and onion powder, salt pepper.)
- Once done you can put your garlic, chopped onion and green pepper and let cook until softened. About 5-7 minutes
- Then add your pasta sauce, tomato paste and Italian seasoning cover and let simmer for 30 minutes once done set aside to cool a bit
- While that is cooking you can prepare your cottage cheese if you opt out then skip this step.
- In a clean bowl add your cottage cheese, rest of the seasonings (garlic and onion powder, salt and pepper) and the one large egg.
- Mix and set aside
- Now time to assemble.
- Take a paper towel and pat the zucchini dry.
- In a glass pan put about 1 -1/2 scoops on your sauce then layer your zucchini like you would lasagna noodles.
- Once you put your next spoonfuls of meat sauce on your zucchini you will next add a tablespoon of cottage cheese mixture to each corner and a tablespoon in the middle like this ( :•: ) then repeat the layering process and top with grated cheese
- Cook 350• for 45 minutes and let sit to cook for 10 minutes. Then enjoy 🙃
