Keto Zucchini Lasagna Non Watery Food

KETO ZUCCHINI LASAGNA (NON WATERY!)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and set aside.
• Thinly slice the zucchini into 1/8th inch thick slices. Lay onto a flat kitchen surface and sprinkle with the salt, to draw out extra moisture. After 15 minutes, pat dry with a towel.
• In a non-stick pan, add the olive oil and place over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 5 minutes, until no longer pink. Add the spaghetti sauce and Italian herbs and cook for 5 minutes, before removing from the heat.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the ricotta cheese, shredded tasty cheese, thawed spinach, and egg.
• Assemble the zucchini lasagna. Spread half a cup of the meat sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Add a single layer of the zucchini, before adding ½ cup of the ricotta mixture. Sprinkle ½ cup of the mozzarella cheese on top of it. Repeat the process until all the ingredients have been used up. Top with any remaining mozzarella cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 50 minutes, removing the foil after 30 minutes.
• Remove the lasagna from the oven and rest for 10 minutes before serving.

KETO ZUCCHINI LASAGNA

Steps:

• Slice the zucchini lengthwise into 1/8-inch thick strips. Place in a bowl and salt generously, tossing once or twice to coat well. Lay strips on paper towels on your work surface. Set aside 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, spray a large saucepan with nonstick spray and set over medium heat. Add the onion; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add garlic; cook 20 seconds.
• Add the mushrooms; cook, stirring often, until they give off their liquid and it reduces to a glaze, about 7 minutes.
• Stir in the tomatoes, basil, oregano, nutmeg and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to break down and the sauce thickens, about 25 minutes.
• Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Blot any moisture off the zucchini strips with paper towels. Use one third of the zucchini strips to line the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking pan, laying them lengthwise like you would lasagna noodles. Top evenly with one third of the sauce, then one third of the shredded cheese. Place half the remaining zucchini strips on top, as before, then top evenly with half the remaining sauce and half the remaining cheese. Repeat this process one more time: using the remaining zucchini, remaining sauce, and remaining cheese.
• Bake, uncovered, until bubbling, about 45 minutes. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing into 6 pieces; serve.
