Ingredients
  

  • 3 zucchinis medium, sliced lengthwise into thin slices
  • 1 pound ground beef can use ground turkey or chicken as a substitute
  • 2 cups marinara sauce use your favorite store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 egg beaten, large
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper or to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Drain any excess fat.
  • Stir in the marinara sauce, dried oregano, and dried basil. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, beaten egg, and 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Place a layer of zucchini slices over the sauce, then spread a layer of the ricotta cheese mixture on top of the zucchini. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.
  • Repeat these layers ending with a layer of meat sauce, and then sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses on top.
  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  • Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
