Steps:
- Line the zucchini on a baking sheet and sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt. Let sit 10 minutes, then pat dry with a paper towel.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Coat a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large saucepan to medium heat. Add the onion and ground beef and sauté 6-7 minutes, breaking up the beef with a wooden spoon, until browned. Stir in the spinach and garlic and sauté 2-3 minutes or until spinach is wilted, stirring constantly. Stir in ½ tablespoon Italian seasoning, the remaining ¾ teaspoon salt, ground black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir in the marinara and remove from the heat. Stir in one egg until combined.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, egg and remaining ½ tablespoon Italian seasoning.
- Start by spooning some of the marinara meat mixture into the bottom of the baking dish and spreading it in an even layer. Then, layer with zucchini strips, followed by another layer of marinara meat mixture, followed by a layer of the cottage cheese mixture and a layer of mozzarella cheese. Repeat until ingredients are used up, finishing with a sprinkling of mozzarella cheese on top.
- Bake 35-40 minutes or until lasagna is bubbly and the cheese is golden brown on top. Let cool 15-20 minutes, then slice and serve.

Steps:
- Cook and stir ground beef, Italian sausage, onion, and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat until the meat is crumbly and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain grease and stir basil, oregano, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt, black pepper, tomatoes, and tomato paste into the meat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer meat sauce for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Mix eggs, ricotta cheese, 1 cup Parmesan cheese, parsley, and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Pare several slices of skin lengthwise from zucchini, alternating with strips of remaining skin. Cut zucchini into long strips to resemble lasagna noodles. Discard seedy middle strips.
- Place 1/3 of the zucchini strips into bottom of the prepared baking dish, filling in any gaps with scrap pieces of zucchini. Spread half the ricotta mixture over zucchini; spread 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over ricotta mixture; spread 1/3 of the meat sauce over mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers once more, layering 1/3 of zucchini strips, remaining half of the ricotta mixture, 1 more cup of mozzarella cheese, and 1/3 of the meat sauce. Make a third layer of remaining zucchini strips, remaining meat sauce, and 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until lasagna is bubbling and top is browned, about 1 hour. If top is browning too quickly, cover dish with aluminum foil during last 15 minutes of baking time. Spread 1 cup mozzarella cheese on top of the casserole and bake until mozzarella cheese topping is melted, 5 to 10 more minutes. Let casserole stand 10 minutes before serving.

ZUCCHINI LASAGNA (LASAGNE) - LOW CARB
Great for anyone going low carb OR who has so many zucchini, they don't know what to do!! :) We found the sauce to be very mild. I think it would be better with twice as much garlic. I boiled my zucchini slices for about 3 minutes so they were partially cooked. I wanted to make sure they were soft in the finished dish or I knew the kids wouldn't eat them. ;) The cottage cheese provides a slightly tangy note. I think we would have preferred ricotta, but that is personal taste. I use my 11x7 baking dish and got 6 pieces the size of what you see in my photos. Both of the guys ate two so it fed 4 of us, and I double the meat. Adjust the recipe accordingly for your family.
