Low Carb Zucchini Lasagna
Ingredients:
1lb ground beef
2 pounds grated zucchini
1tsp dried oregano
1tsp dried basil
3 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 cup ricotta cheese (full fat)
2 cups mozzarella cheese
1 cup marinara sauce (I use Aldi's Simply Nature brand, it has 5 net carbs per 1/2 cup and has no added sugar)
Brown ground beef in a pan, I don't use any oil to cook it in as I use the 20% fat ground beef and it cooks well in its own fat.
Grate zucchini and place in a glass 9x13 pan, top with ground beef, then mix in oregano, basil, olive oil, marinara sauce, parmesan cheese and ricotta cheese. I literally just mix all the ingredients all together in the dish to make a casserole-like dish. Then top with mozzerella cheese. Bake at 400 degrees for about an hour. I cover it with foil for the first 30 minutes, then uncover to let the cheese become brown and crispy.
Carb count per serving (makes 6 servings) = 8 grams
Happy eating!
This would also be a great meal to freeze and save for later, so make 2 trays and freeze one! I am a huge fan of making extras and freezing them to save time!
