Recipe Test: Zucchini Lasagna

Credit:  skinnytaste.com

INGREDIENTS:

  • Ground beef
  • Garlic
  • Onion
  • Olive oil
  • Salt & pepper
  • Crushed tomatoes (I accidentally bought diced and it still worked)
  • Basil
  • Zucchini
  • Ricotta
  • Mozzarella
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Egg

Hubby & I both love pasta - especially baked pasta with LOTS of cheese ... so this recipe at least let me rationalize that I was getting my veggies and still get that pasta feel.   

The cheese ..... ooooooh cheese!   Just LOOK at it! 


Yes .. I do make Homer Simpson noises about cheese.   I may be willing to become a vegetarian eventually but vegan?   Even the thought makes me burst into hysterical laughter!  Try to take away my cheese and I WILL get violent!


It ended up yummy but a little soupy.  It is so hard to get enough liquid out of the zucchini to stop this effect.  As it is I went through a TON of paper towels trying to dry it out before baking.   But in terms of taste it was quite good.   I actually may do without the meat next time and add mushrooms or other veggies.
