There are many food holidays, but there’s only one that matters. Celebrate a guilt-free Lasagna Day with our low-carb vegetarian take on the Italian classic: Italian Zucchini Lasagna Recipe.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 large zucchini, trimmed and sliced lengthwise into ¼ cm strips
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup full-fat ricotta cheese
  • ½  cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • 2 large egg
  • ½ cup fresh basil, finely chopped
  • Coarse salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • 2 large cloves garlic, minced or grated
  • 1 1/2 cups Nonna Pia’s Siciliana Pasta Sauce
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Lay zucchini in a single layer, sprinkle with salt and let stand 15 minutes. This will draw the moisture from the zucchini to prevent it from getting soggy when cooking.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, parmesan, egg, basil, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  4. Spread 1  cup tomato sauce onto the bottom of a large cast-iron pan
  5. To make your roll-ups, Spread approx. 1 tablespoon ricotta mixture along each zucchini slice. Roll up and place in your baking dish facing up (if you’re having troubles keeping the roll-ups closed, lay them on their side with the end of the roll-up facing down)
  6. Pour the remaining sauce over top of the roll-ups and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until heated through. Turn the oven to broil and cook an additional 3-4 minutes to get the cheese bubbly and golden brown.

TIP:

Swap zucchini for eggplant for a different twist!
