INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Grass-Fed Lean Ground Beef
1 medium Zucchini
1/2 cup No-Sugar-Added Tomato Sauce
1/2 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
1/4 medium Onion
1 clove Garlic
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Lightly salt the strips and set aside to draw out excess water for about 10 minutes, then pat them dry.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the finely chopped onion and minced garlic until soft and fragrant.
Add the grass-fed lean ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir in the tomato sauce and chopped fresh basil into the beef mixture. Let it simmer for 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
In a small bowl, mix the low-fat cottage cheese with a pinch of salt and pepper for added flavor if desired.
Assemble the lasagna by placing a layer of zucchini strips at the bottom of an oven-safe dish. Spoon a portion of the beef and tomato sauce mixture over the zucchini, then dollop some cottage cheese. Repeat the layering process until all components are used, finishing with a layer of the beef sauce.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the dish is heated through and the flavors meld together.
Garnish with additional fresh basil before serving.
