Prep

Peel zucchini into strips until you reach seedy core. Discard green skins. Optionally, sprinkle salt on zucchini strips and pat dry with paper towel to remove moisture and get them closer to true lasagna noodle texture. Brown ground beef and stir in marinara sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook until it bubbles then remove heat. Set ingredients aside and get your casserole pan.

Notes

You can peel the zucchinis with a vegetable peeler or slice them thinly with a knife or mandolin.

Rao’s Marinara is recommended because it has 3 net carbs per serving. You can also use plain tomato sauce.

Spreading the ricotta can be difficult. Do the best you can. It doesn’t have to cover the entire layer evenly. Mine got messy, uneven, and mixed with other layers and it still turned out great.

I got this recipe from the Keto In Five Cookbooks that I promote to my readers.

If you’re tired of searching for new low carb recipes every week, it’s a great resource.
