Time 1h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 large zucchini
1 tablespoon salt
1 pound ground beef
1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
1 small green bell pepper, diced
1 onion, diced
1 cup tomato paste
1 (16 ounce) can tomato sauce
¼ cup red wine
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
hot water as needed
1 egg
1 (15 ounce) container low-fat ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 (16 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
8 ounces grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a deep 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • Slice zucchini lengthwise into very thin slices. Sprinkle slices lightly with salt; set aside to drain in a colander.
  • To prepare the meat sauce, cook and stir ground beef and black pepper in a large skillet over medium high heat for 5 minutes. Add in green pepper and onion; cook and stir until meat is no longer pink. Stir in tomato paste, tomato sauce, wine, basil, and oregano, adding a small amount of hot water if sauce is too thick. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer sauce for about 20 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Meanwhile, stir egg, ricotta, and parsley together in a bowl until well combined.
  • To assemble lasagna, spread 1/2 of the meat sauce into the bottom of prepared pan. Then layer 1/2 the zucchini slices, 1/2 the ricotta mixture, all of the spinach, followed by all of the mushrooms, then 1/2 the mozzarella cheese. Repeat by layering the remaining meat sauce, zucchini slices, ricotta mixture, and mozzarella. Spread Parmesan cheese evenly over the top; cover with foil.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables to add flavor and texture to your lasagna. Some good options include spinach, zucchini, mushrooms, and bell peppers.
  • If you are using a store-bought lasagna sauce, be sure to doctor it up with some additional spices and herbs. This will help to give the sauce more flavor and depth.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheese. A combination of mozzarella, ricotta, and Parmesan is a classic, but you can also try using other types of cheese, such as fontina, Gruyère, or cheddar.
  • Be sure to cook the lasagna until it is heated through. This will help to prevent the lasagna from becoming soggy.
  • Let the lasagna rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the lasagna to hold its shape and make it easier to cut.
