Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 375F. Slice zucchini lengthwise into 1/4-inch strips. Lay on paper towels, sprinkle with 1 tsp salt, and let sit 15 minutes. Pat very dry.

Tip: This step removes excess moisture and prevents a watery lasagna. Do not skip the salting and drying.

2

Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic, cook 30 seconds. Stir in marinara sauce and Italian seasoning. Simmer 5 minutes.

3

Mix ricotta, egg, half the Parmesan, remaining salt, and pepper in a bowl.

4

Layer in a 9x13 dish: thin layer of meat sauce, zucchini slices, ricotta mixture, mozzarella. Repeat 3 times, ending with sauce, mozzarella, and remaining Parmesan on top.

5

Cover with foil and bake 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake 20 more minutes until bubbly and golden. Rest 15 minutes before slicing. Garnish with basil.
