INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef
1 medium Zucchini
1/2 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
1/4 cup Tomato Sauce
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Using a spiralizer or a mandoline, slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips to serve as the lasagna noodles. Lightly salt the strips and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet, cooking until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
In a baking dish, layer a thin spread of tomato sauce on the bottom. Arrange a single layer of zucchini slices.
Spread a layer of the cooked ground beef over the zucchini, then dollop and gently spread a layer of low-fat cottage cheese.
Drizzle a little extra tomato sauce over the layers and sprinkle a few fresh basil leaves.
Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of zucchini topped with tomato sauce and fresh basil.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the top to set slightly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
