1 clove Garlic

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

• 2

  Use a vegetable peeler to create long, thin ribbons from the zucchini and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

• 3

  Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic and ground beef until browned.

• 4

  Season the beef with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano, then stir in the marinara sauce and simmer for 3 minutes.

• 5

  In a small bowl, combine the ricotta cheese with the finely chopped fresh spinach until well mixed.

• 6

  In a small oven-safe baking dish, spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom.

• 7

  Layer zucchini ribbons over the sauce, followed by a layer of the ricotta-spinach mixture and more meat sauce.

• 8

  Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

• 9

  Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the cheese is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling.
