Zucchini Lasagna Recipe: An Amazing Ultimate Dish for 6


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 medium zucchinis
– 2 cups ricotta cheese
– 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 cups marinara sauce
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your incredible Zucchini Lasagna:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Zucchini: Slice the zucchinis lengthwise into thin strips using a mandoline or sharp knife.
3. Salt the Zucchini: Sprinkle salt over the zucchini strips and let them sit for about 15 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
4. Rinse and Pat Dry: Rinse the zucchini strips under cold water and then pat them dry with a paper towel.
5. Mix Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until smooth.
6. Assemble the Lasagna: In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom. Layer zucchini strips, then spread half of the ricotta mixture, and top with mozzarella cheese. Repeat this layering process until all ingredients are used up, finishing with a final layer of marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese.
7. Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
8. Cool the Dish: Allow the zucchini lasagna to cool for about 15 minutes before slicing. This helps the layers set for cleaner cuts.
9. Garnish: Before serving, sprinkle fresh basil leaves on top for added flavor and visual appeal.

These steps will lead you to master the art of making zucchini lasagna seamlessly. Enjoy the cooking process and the delightful end result!
