Ingredients

Scale

  • 15 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded parmesan reggiano
  • 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese

  • Fresh parsley and basil (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Slice zucchinis lengthwise into thin strips. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, cook minced beef until browned; drain excess fat and stir in tomato sauce to simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese with beaten egg, half the parmesan, salt, pepper, and herbs.
  5. In a baking dish, layer zucchini slices, meat sauce, and cheese mixture until all ingredients are used—ending with mozzarella on top.
  6. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until golden brown.
