Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large zucchinis
  • 2 pounds minced beef
  • 24 ounces tomato-based pasta sauce
  • 15 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded parmesan reggiano
  • 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese
  • 1 egg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Small handful of fresh parsley and basil, chopped

Instructions

  1. Wash and thinly slice the zucchinis using a vegetable peeler. Lay them on paper towels, sprinkle with salt, and let them sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the minced beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat, then stir in the tomato sauce and simmer for 5 minutes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, half of the shredded parmesan reggiano, salt, and pepper; mix until smooth.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large baking dish, layer zucchini strips, half of the beef mixture, half of the cheese mixture. Repeat layers finishing with zucchini on top. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella and parmesan on top.
  5. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  6. Let rest for a few minutes before serving; garnish with chopped parsley and basil.
