Ingredients
- 2 zucchini medium
- salt kosher salt
- black pepper kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cups cherry tomato
- 4 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 onion diced, sweet
- 1 pound lean ground beef or ground turkey
- 1 teaspoon basil dried
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese plus more for sprinkling, freshly grated
- basil fresh, for garnish
- crushed red pepper for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cut the zucchini into thin slices, about ⅛ inch. I find this works best with a knife, as I actually like the slices about ⅛ inch thick. If you’d like thinner slices, use a mandolin or vegetable peeler. Once I have the long slices, I cut them in half again. That is just my personal preference. I like the zucchini ribbons to be 3 to 4 inches long.
- Place the zucchini on a towel or paper towels. Sprinkle all over with salt. Let the zucchini sit for 15 to 20 minutes while you make the sauce.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in large oven-safe skillet over medium-low heat. Add the cherry tomatoes and the garlic with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes burst, about 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Stir in the onion with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, until it softens. Stir in the ground beef or turkey with another pinch of salt and pepper. Brown the beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon until it’s in small pieces. Stir in the dried basil. Stir the cherry tomato sauce back in.
- Pat the zucchini dry. Add the ribbons into the skillet, arranging them throughout the beef. Add dollops of ricotta cheese all over the top. Sprinkle on the parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Remove and sprinkle with more parmesan and crushed red pepper. Top with fresh basil and serve.
