Prep Time: 1 hour

Yield: 8 - 10 Servings

Ingredients

  • 4-5 medium-large zucchinis, sliced thin (1/8-inch cuts)
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • 3 cups mozzarella, shredded
  • 3 cups tomato sauce
  • 2 teaspoon fresh oregano
  • 3 Tablespoons fresh basil
    • Ricotta Filling
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese (drained of liquids)
  • 1/4 cups parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped (for dried basil use 2 Tablespoons)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F.
  2. Salt & pre-bake zucchini noodles: arrange zucchini slices on sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle with course sea salt – let sit for 5-10 minutes so zucchini "sweats" any excess moisture. Use paper towels to press and dry zucchini noodles. Then bake noodles for 8-10 minutes – pat them dry when finished baking. Note: pre-baking the zucchini will help dry up even more moisture from the noodles.
  3. Ricotta filling: in a medium-sized bowl, mix all of ricotta filling ingredients together.
  4. Layer ingredients: In a 13×9 baking dish, layer lasagna: spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of the dish, add layer of cooked zucchini noodles, thin layer of ricotta filling, and mozzarella cheese & little parmesan, and generous sprinkle of freshly cut oregano & basil. Repeat each step until finished. On top layer with sauce, mozzarella cheese, and parmesan cheese.
  5. Bake: Leave dish uncovered and bake for 40-45 minutes, then broil on HIGH for 1 to 2 minutes until cheese is browned. Sprinkle with chopped fresh basil.
  6. Slice and enjoy!
