INGREDIENTS
3 oz Lean Ground Beef
0.33 cup Fat-Free Ricotta Cheese
0.25 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese
0.5 cup Tomato Sauce
1 medium Zucchini
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips to serve as your pasta layers.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet. Break it up and cook until browned. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Once the beef is cooked, stir in the tomato sauce and let the mixture simmer for 3-5 minutes.
In a baking dish, arrange a layer of zucchini slices, then spread half of the beef and tomato sauce mixture evenly over the zucchini.
Dollop and gently spread half of the fat-free ricotta cheese over the beef layer.
Repeat with another layer of zucchini, the remaining beef mixture, and finish with dollops of the remaining ricotta cheese.
Sprinkle the low-fat mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Let cool for a few minutes before serving, ensuring all layers are set.
