Lasaña de Calabacín (zucchini lasagna)
Lasagna de Calabacín is a delicious and healthy take on traditional lasagna where thinly sliced zucchini is used in place of pasta sheets. It’s a great option for those looking to reduce their carb intake or incorporate more veggies into their diet.
Ingredients
- 2 large zucchinis
- 1 lb beef or ground turkey
- 1 onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 jar marinara sauce
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice the zucchinis lengthwise into thin strips using a mandoline or a sharp knife.
- In a skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat and sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until translucent.
- Add the ground turkey or beef to the skillet and cook until browned. Season with salt, pepper, and dried oregano.
- Stir in the marinara sauce and let it simmer for a few minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with half of the parmesan cheese.
- In a baking dish, start layering the lasagna: spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom, followed by a layer of zucchini slices, a layer of ricotta mixture, and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of meat sauce on top.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and sprinkle the remaining parmesan and mozzarella cheese on top.
- Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the lasagna rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
