Zucchini Lasagna (Lasagne) - Low Carb
By: Marg (CaymanDesigns)

Great for anyone going low carb OR who has so many zucchini, they don't know what to do!! 
We found the sauce to be very mild. I think it would be better with twice as much garlic. I boiled my zucchini slices for about 3 minutes so they were partially cooked. I wanted to make sure they were soft in the finished dish or I knew the kids wouldn't eat them. 
The cottage cheese provides a slightly tangy note. I think we would have preferred ricotta, but that is personal taste. I use my 11x7 baking dish and got 6 pieces the size of what you see in my photos. Both of the guys ate two so it fed 4 of us, and I double the meat. Adjust the recipe accordingly for your family.

- 2 1/2 cups zucchini, sliced 1/4 inch thick (about 2 medium)

- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil

- 1/4 cup water
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper

- 3/4 cup low fat cottage cheese (or low fat or fat free ricotta)
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (I use 8 oz. divided)

Made this tonight and it was great! I zapped the zuch in the microwave for 2 mins to save some time, used some jarred marinara sauce instead of fresh tomatoes, and used ricotta and everything came out great. Thanks for the recipe!

This was great! I like it much better than lasagne with noodles! The first time I made it according to the recipe which was wonderful. The second time I made it, I actually just added half a jar of spaghetti sauce to the browned beef/onion/garlic mix. Thanks for posting!

I wish I could give this more than five stars...and I wish I had doubled the recipe so I would have more leftovers. BTW, pre-broiled slices of eggplant works well paired with the zucchini in this recipe. Also, we used cottage and ricotta cheese. YUMMY. I haven't had a meal this good in a while...and THAT is saying something. Thank you so much for posting this recipe. It is definately going in my tried and true recipe book.

This recipe cured my craving for pasta--without eating pasta! I added mushrooms and used ground turkey instead of ground beef. Also, I added some black olives. Next time, I think I'm going to use eggplant instead of zukes and double the recipe. A keeper with us.
