Zucchini Ricotta Lasagna is a healthy and delicious twist on traditional lasagna, using zucchini slices instead of pasta for a lighter dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium zucchinis, sliced
  • 15 oz ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Slice the zucchinis lengthwise into thin strips.
  3. In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  4. Spread a layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
  5. Layer zucchini slices over the sauce, followed by a layer of the ricotta mixture.
  6. Add another layer of marinara sauce and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
  7. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with marinara sauce and mozzarella on top.
  8. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, substitute ricotta with tofu or a plant-based cheese.
  • Make sure to salt the zucchini slices and let them sit for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture.
  • This dish can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator before baking.
