Zucchini Lasagna (Low Carb)
All the layers of a real lasagna – only the pasta has been replaced with zucchini.
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Zucchini (large)
- 200 g Lean ground beef
- 200 g Tomato passata
- 125 g Ricotta
- 60 g Mozzarella (shredded)
- 1 small Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- ½ tsp each Oregano, basil (dried)
- 1 tsp Olive oil
- to taste Salt, pepper
Method
- Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).
- Slice zucchini lengthwise into 3-4 mm thick slices. Place on paper towels and salt (draws out water).
- Finely chop onion and garlic, sauté in olive oil.
- Add ground beef and cook until crumbly.
- Stir in tomato passata, oregano, and basil, simmer for 5 min.
- Lightly oil a baking dish. Layer: zucchini → meat sauce → ricotta dollops → repeat.
- Top with mozzarella.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is golden brown.
- Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
GLP-1 tip: Comfort food without the guilt. The second portion is perfect for meal prep – keeps 3 days in the fridge. Important: Salt the zucchini beforehand and pat dry, otherwise the lasagna gets watery. Small portions reheat beautifully in the microwave.
