You've Got to Try These Tasty Zucchini Recipes

8. Zucchini Lasagna

This lasagna also uses zucchini as a low-carb noodle replacement. To make these lasagna noodles, slice a large zucchini into thin sheets. Sprinkle with salt to draw out extra water and pat dry with a paper towel.

Cook a bechamel sauce by browning flour in equal parts butter. Slowly stir in milk and add grated cheese and bay leaves. Simmer the sauce on low heat until thick and creamy. In a separate saucepan, make a simple marinara using crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, garlic, oregano, basil, red wine, and extra virgin olive oil.

Spoon some of the marinara sauce onto the bottom of a glass baking dish. Add a layer of the noodles followed by a layer of bechamel, a layer of the marinara, and another layer of noodles. Repeat until the ingredients are gone. Top with grated cheese and bake until noodles are tenders and the cheese is nicely brown.
