Zucchini Lasagna

I found this recipe on Pinterest and adjusted it to use Tastefully Simple products. This is so much easier than I was expecting. I will definitely be making this again!

Ingredients: 

3 medium zucchinis 

Olive oil cooking spray

28 oz can crushed tomatoes 

2 tbs Garlic Garlic

2 tbs Onion Onion

2 tbs basil 

1 tsp oregano

Salt

15 oz container ricotta cheese

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

1 large egg

8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese

1 lb ground beef, cooked & drained

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375.

Thinly slice zucchini length wise and place on a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt (this helps to dry them out) and let them sit for 10 minutes.

Spray olive oil on a grill pan and grill zucchini slices for about 1 minute on each side. 

In a medium sauce pan, combine tomatoes, Garlic Garlic, Onion Onion, basil, oregano & cooked beef (if using) bring to a simmer. 

In a large bowl combine ricotta, egg & Parmesan cheese. 

Using a 9x13 dish or two 8x8 dishes, spread some sauce on the bottom of pan. 

Place a layer of zucchini, then a layer of mozzarella, then ricotta. Repeat until all ingredients are used. 

Bake, covered for 45 minutes, remove foil and bake another 10 minutes.
