Creamy Lean Ground Beef Zucchini Lasagna
Enjoy a twist on traditional lasagna with layers of tender zucchini slices, savory lean ground beef, and a creamy ricotta tomato sauce. This dish delivers a comforting, flavorful experience with a light, satisfying texture and a perfect blend of herbs and spices.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Beef (90% Lean)
1 medium Zucchini, sliced lengthwise
1/4 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
2 cloves Garlic, minced
2 tbsp Fresh Basil, chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips. Lightly salt them and set aside to draw out excess moisture for about 10 minutes, then pat dry.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add the lean ground beef and cook until browned. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Stir in the tomato sauce and half of the chopped fresh basil into the beef. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
In a baking dish, create a layer with zucchini slices, then spread a thin layer of the beef tomato mixture, and dollop part-skim ricotta evenly over it. Sprinkle a little mozzarella cheese on top.
Repeat the layering process until all components are used, finishing with a final sprinkle of mozzarella and remaining basil on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your hearty, low-calorie lasagna!
