Layers on layers on layers on layers with CHEESE. Yummy.

What are the typical two ingredients you see in a lasagna; pasta, meat, and cheese. Well, I didn’t want the pasta part of the lasagna so I decided to go for zucchini instead. Any vegetable part of the squash family usually make great substitutes for pasta. 🙂

Ingredients:

*Makes one large lasagna

• Roughly 3 large zucchini’s
• 1 pound lead ground beef
• 2 cups of shredded mozzarella (use your favorite cheese / the quantity of cheese is also up to you – personal preferences differ)
• 2 small cans tomato concentrate
• 1 big onion (2 small)
• Salt & Peper to taste

Preparation:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Chop the onion and caramelize in a pan with olive oil.
• Add the ground beef.
• Once the beef is cooked through, add the tomato concentrate and salt and pepper.
• Use a mandolin to thinly slice the zucchini.
• Add a layer of zucchini slices at the bottom of an oven-proof dish.
• Layer some of the beef mixture on top of the zucchini and sprinkle on some cheese.
• Repeat until you can add a last layer of zucchini and cover it with cheese.
• Put in the over for about 45 minutes.
• **Note: If the cheese starts to burn, cover with aluminum foil.
• Enjoy!
