Description
A comforting low-carb twist on classic lasagna, made with zucchini ribbons, rich meat sauce, and creamy ricotta layers, baked until perfectly bubbly and golden.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground beef or Italian sausage
- 2 cups sugar-free marinara sauce
- 2 large zucchini, sliced into ribbons
- 15 oz whole milk ricotta
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef or sausage, then stir in the marinara sauce.
- Salt zucchini ribbons, let sit for 10 minutes, then pat dry with paper towels.
- Mix ricotta, beaten egg, and parmesan cheese until combined.
- Layer meat sauce, zucchini ribbons, ricotta mixture, and mozzarella. Repeat layers.
