Layered Zucchini
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°.
Step 2
Bring the water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add zucchini; cook 3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and cool.
Step 3
Place the beef and garlic in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until browned, stirring to crumble. Stir in the spaghetti sauce, salt, basil, and oregano; cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
Step 4
Combine the cottage cheese, parsley, and eggs in a medium bowl.
Step 5
Arrange zucchini slices in a shallow 3-quart casserole coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle the zucchini with half of the breadcrumbs. Spread half of cottage cheese mixture over breadcrumbs; cover with half of the meat mixture and 1 cup mozzarella. Repeat the layers with the remaining breadcrumbs, cottage cheese mixture, and meat mixture; reserve the remaining mozzarella. Bake at 350° for 40 minutes.
Step 6
Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella, and bake an additional 5 minutes or until cheese melts.

This far exceeded my expectations--it's absolutely delicious. I made 1/2 the recipe, used seasoned Italian dry bread crumbs, and chopped fresh basil (about 2 TB) into the cottage cheese. Also used 1% cottage cheese, a simple canned tomato sauce rather than spaghetti sauce, and a shredded mozzarella & provolone mix. Baked about 10 minutes longer than suggested and let it sit for about 5 min or so before cutting. Half the recipe fit perfectly into an 8x8 pan. Serving size as given is a little small unless you have a small appetite or are also serving lots of sides. I served with a a green salad w. croutons (lots, since there's no pasta & I didn't have bread), and my husband ate two pieces. What a great recipe!

I was looking for recipes for zucchini to use up the abundance of zucchini from my garden. This recipe was absolutely delicious!!! It was very easy to prepare. My husband said he liked this as well as my regular lasagna (and he LOVES my regular lasagna!!). I will definately be making this again!!! I tried to post a picture of it, but was not able to get the picture to upload.

I make this all the time. We try to stay away from pasta and rice, so this is a great way to make a lasagna-style meal without all of the carbs. My picky kids like it a lot too.

I don't cook very often and I'm really slow in the kitchen. I started at 8 PM and finished at 10.For me that was a great accomplishment! Next time it should take less time as I spent a lot of time trying not to make mistakes. I was very pleased at the outcome. It was very delicious and not salty, but very flavorful. Easy enough that I would try it without having the recipe in front of me next time. I substituted Provolone cheese for the Mozarella and sprinkled a little Parmesan on top.

Very good and very simple, quick to put together. Next time I'm going to try it with some spicy sausage instead of the ground turkey I used this time. Its a good use for all the zuchini garden bounty!

We used MorningStar crumbles instead of ground round and it was delicious! The flavor is awesome!
