  Using a vegetable peeler, slice the zucchini into long, thin ribbons to create a vegetable layer.

  Spread a small amount of marinara sauce on the bottom of a small oven-safe baking dish.

• 6

  Layer the lasagna noodle (broken to fit the dish), half of the cooked beef, half of the zucchini ribbons, and half of the ricotta mixture.

  Add another layer of marinara sauce, then repeat the layers with the remaining beef, zucchini, and ricotta.

  Top with the remaining marinara sauce and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.

  Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.

• 10
