Wheat-free Zucchini Lasagna

Ingredients

  • 3 medium zucchinis, sliced lengthwise
  • 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place the zucchini slices on a paper towel and sprinkle with salt. Let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

  4. Spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  5. Layer half of the zucchini slices over the sauce, then spread half of the ricotta mixture on top.
  6. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese over the ricotta layer.
  7. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients, ending with a layer of marinara sauce and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top.
  8. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  9. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
