• 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Set to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Zucchini: Slice zucchini into thin strips. Lightly salt them and let sit for 10 minutes to release moisture. Pat dry with a paper towel.
3. Cook Meat: Heat olive oil in a pan, sauté garlic, then add ground beef. Cook until browned. Drain excess fat. Add marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.
4. Mix Ricotta Filling: In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, Parmesan, egg, and a pinch of black pepper.
5. Assemble Lasagna:
   • Spread a thin layer of meat sauce at the bottom of a baking dish.
   • Layer zucchini slices over the sauce.
   • Spread a layer of ricotta mixture.
   • Sprinkle mozzarella cheese.
   • Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, ending with mozzarella on top.
6. Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes until cheese is golden and bubbly.
7. Rest & Serve: Let it sit for 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
