Thinly sliced zucchini replaces traditional noodles for a lighter, gluten-free alternative that still delivers that classic lasagna comfort. Add a salad and you can turn this into a meal for two!
- 1 Zucchini sliced thin
- 4 oz Ricotta
- 1 Egg
- 1 Clove of Garlic
- ½ t Oregano
- ½ t Basil
- ¼ t Salt
- ¼ t Pepper
- 1 C Marinara Sauce
- 1 C Italian Blend Shredded Cheese you may not need the total 1 cup but have it on hand just incase
- ¼ lb Browned Ground Beef you can leave this out for a meatless meal option
Remove the excess water from the zucchini by either sauteing it in a pan or salting the zucchini and allowing it to sit for 30 minutes. If you are doing the salted option, you can wash your zucchini and then pat it dry to remove any excess salt.
Pat the zucchini dry using a paper towel to remove the excess liquid.
Mix the Ricotta with the egg, oregano, basil and one garlic clove minced.
Layer the lasagna starting with the marinara sauce on the bottom and ending the layers with marinara and cheese on top.
In the crockpot you can cook on High for 2 Hours or Low for 6 Hours
In the oven cook covered with foil at 375 for 15 minutes then uncovered for 15-20 minutes. Note if the cheese on top is not melted you can cook a little longer or broil it for a minute or two to melt the cheese.
Enjoy!
