I found this recipe on a low carb site and modified it slightly to suit our tastes. We had it for dinner last night and it was AWESOME!! Very yummy and the flavor of all those fresh veggies blended beautifully with the sauce! DH went back for seconds, so this is definitely a keeper. Add a side salad and your meal is complete!

I'm not a huge fan of zucchini, but I was pleasantly surprised by this lasagna. The zucchini noodles were tender and didn't have a strong flavor. The overall dish was very cheesy and satisfying.

I'm not sure I would make this again. The zucchini noodles were a bit too mushy for my taste.
