Servings

For the Zucchini "Noodles"

  • 1 medium zucchini (roughly 1¼ lbs)
  • 1 tsp salt

For the Sauce

  • ½ lb ground beef (85% lean)
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 green bell pepper diced
  • 2 tomato diced
  • 1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
  • ¼ c water
  • 2 Tbsp red wine
  • 1 bay leaf crumbled
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp fennel seeds whole
  • ¼ tsp black pepper ground
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
  • ¼ tsp thyme
  • Pinch coriander seeds ground

Putting It Together

  • 2 c mozzarella cheese shredded

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350F.

Prepare the Zucchini "Noodles"

  1. 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

  1. 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.
  2. Add remaining sauce ingredients. Simmer, uncovered, 5-7 minutes or until sauce is thick and fragrant. Remove from the heat.

Putting It Together

  1. Pat zucchini slices dry.
  2. 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.
  3. Cover the lasagna with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  4. 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.
  5. Remove from the oven and let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.
