INGREDIENTS
3 oz Grass-Fed Beef
1 medium Zucchini
1/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1 large Egg
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
2 cloves Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips using a mandoline or sharp knife. Lay the slices on paper towels to absorb excess moisture.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add grass-fed beef and cook until browned, breaking up any clumps.
Stir in half of the marinara sauce and let it simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a bowl, mix the low-fat ricotta, egg, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Layer a small portion of the remaining marinara on the bottom of a lightly greased baking dish. Arrange a layer of zucchini slices, followed by a layer of the beef mixture, then spread a portion of the ricotta mixture on top. Sprinkle a little fresh basil over each layer.
Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of zucchini topped with the remaining marinara and Parmesan cheese.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to allow the top to brown slightly.
Let the lasagna cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra fresh basil if desired.
