Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F.
Prepare the Zucchini "Noodles"
- Slice zucchini into ¼” strips. Lay strips on a paper towel and sprinkle salt over both sides. Set aside to sweat for 15-20 minutes.
Prepare the Sauce
- While the zucchini sweats, brown the beef in a large skillet. Add onions and green peppers. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until peppers are soft.
- Add remaining sauce ingredients. Simmer, uncovered, 5-7 minutes or until sauce is thick and fragrant. Remove from the heat.
Putting It Together
- Pat zucchini slices dry.
- In an 8x8 baking dish layer 1 cup sauce, 1/3 of the zucchini slices, and ½ c cheese. Repeat the layers twice more, but do not add the final layer (1/2 c) of cheese.
- Cover the lasagna with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Uncover the dish and top with the remaining cheese. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the lasagna is bubbly in the center.
- Remove from the oven and let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.
