Big Meanie's Meat & Zucchini Lasagna image

A very healthy Lasagna recipe without all the pasta. Great way for this bariatric patient to still get one of my favorite dishes. I also like to add a little low-fat ricotta cheese to the bottom layer from time to time to change it up.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 2h45m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs extra lean ground beef
2 large zucchini
1/2 large white onion, diced
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon dried basil
3 large tomatoes, chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cups low fat mozzarella

Steps:

  • Slice the zucchini lengthwise in 1/8-inch thick strips. Place in bowl and coat with salt.
  • Lay zucchini out on paper towels. Let set for 1 hour to pull out moisture.
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook onion about 2 minutes, stirring often. Add garlic.
  • Add ground beef and cook until browned.
  • Stir in tomatoes, basil, oregano, nutmeg and pepper. Cook for 20 minutes, stir occasionally, the tomatoes should break down & the sauce thicken.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Blot the zucchini dry with paper towels.
  • Use one third of zucchini strips to line 9 x 13-inch baking pan. Top evenly with 1/3 of the sauce, & shredded cheese. Place 1/2 of the remaining zucchini strips on top, then 1/2 the sauce & cheese. Repeat this process one more time: using the layers.
  • Bake about 45-50 minutes until the sauce starts to bubble.
  • Let cool and serve.

This lasagna was a bit too salty for my taste, but it was still good. The zucchini added a nice texture and flavor to the dish. The meat sauce was also good, but it was a bit too salty. I would definitely make this again, but I would use less salt ne
