Will's grandmother gave us a plethora ofcucumbers and zucchinis. And the zucchini -- it was a baseball bat! And I was hankering for lasagna, so I thought a healthy alternative would be perfect!
Ingredients:
- Zucchini, sliced thin
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound italian sausage
- 2 jars marinara sauce
- Ricotta
- Cottage cheese
- Chopped spinach
- Mozzarella cheese, sliced or shredded
- Parmesan
Preparation:
- Slice the zucchini
- Mix the ricotta, cottage cheese, and spinach (thaw & drain). I did a 2:1 ratio of ricotta:cottage cheese.
- Brown the beef and sausage, crumbling into small pieces. Add the jars of marinara and bring to a simmer.
- Layer the bottom of a 9x13 pan with some marinara. Put a layer of zucchini, mozzarella, then a layer of cheese mix. Repeat until the pan is full. I ended with a layer of marinara sauce and then I sprinkled the top with grated parmesan cheese.
- Bake in a 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Serve with garlic bread.
