INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef
1 medium Zucchini
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese
1/2 medium Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Dried Italian Herbs
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Thinly slice the zucchini lengthwise to create lasagna-like layers. Lightly salt the slices and let them sit for 5 minutes, then pat dry.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent and fragrant.
Add lean ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula. Stir in dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper.
Mix in the tomato sauce with the cooked beef and let it simmer for a few minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta cheese with a pinch of salt and pepper.
In a baking dish, layer zucchini slices at the bottom. Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture over the zucchini, then add a layer of the beef and tomato sauce mixture.
Repeat layering with another set of zucchini slices, the remaining ricotta, and the rest of the beef mixture.
Sprinkle the low-fat mozzarella cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges are bubbly.
Let the lasagna rest for 5 minutes before serving.
