Zucchini Lasagna - no noodles - How to Make a Low Carb Lasagna

This Zucchini Lasagna is healthy, satisfying and delicious. And even though this recipe has no noodles, it tastes just like a traditional lasagna.
Zucchini Lasagna Recipe (with no noodles)
Makes 4-6 Servings
INGREDIENTS
4-5 medium sized zucchinis
1 ¼ pound of ricotta cheese (20 oz)
½ cup of parmesan cheese
1 egg
½ teaspoon of salt
¼ teaspoon of pepper
½ cup of shredded carrots
¾ cup of chopped fresh spinach
2 ¼ cup of prepared spaghetti sauce (I used vodka sauce)
¾ cup of mozzarella
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ZUCCHINI (which will be the “dough”)
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180° C)
2. Cut off the tips of the zucchini.
3. With a mandolin (and using the hand protector), cut slices lengthwise to make strips that are about 1/4 inch thick.
4. Prepare a baking pan with parchment paper and place each zucchini slice next to each other, slightly overlap them so more fit to each sheet, they won't stick to each other and they'll shrink a bit.
5. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
6. After 20 minutes, take the slices out of the oven and flip them over to bake for another 10 minutes.
7. Important: You don't want to skip the steps of drying the zucchinis, otherwise the lasagna will be too soggy if you use raw zucchini slices.
8. Set aside to cool.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE RICOTTA FILLING
1. Place the ricotta cheese in a large bowl (drained off any excess water it came with in the container).
2. Add the parmesan cheese, egg, salt and pepper. Mix well.
3. Add the shredded carrots and chopped spinach to the ricotta mixture and mix well.
INSTRUCTIONS TO ASSEMBLE THE LASAGNA
1. Increase the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190° C)
2. Add a drizzle of oil to the bottom of a square glass baking dish.
3. Place a first layer of zucchini slices next to each other in the dish.
4. Spoon spaghetti sauce all over the zucchini slices.
5. Add half of the ricotta filling on top of the sauced zucchinis. Use a fork to gently flatten the ricotta and make it reach all the corners of the baking dish.
6. Place a second layer of zucchini slices over the ricotta filling, placing each zucchini right next to each other.
7. Press the zucchini down gently and add more spaghetti sauce on top of them.
8. Add the remaining half of the ricotta filling, spreading gently with a fork.
9. Place the third and last layer of zucchini slices on top of the ricotta and press gently.
10. Cover the lasagna with spaghetti sauce and three fourths cup of shredded mozzarella.
11. Cover the lasagna with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 40 minutes.
12. Remove the lasagna from the oven after 40 minutes, remove the aluminum foil and place it back into the oven for 15 more minutes so the mozzarella toasts a bit more.
13. When the lasagna is done, let it rest for 30 minutes before serving.
14. Serve and enjoy!

Love your recipes. The ingredients are visible on the screen. The info underneath IS very helpful. Soft unoptrusive music and your soft voice, completes a 100 % video. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[@RLSCS]

I never thought to add shredded carrots and chopped spinach to lasagna cheese mixture. Great way to add extra veggies.

[@sandyd2527]

I’m on KETO so I’ll tweak some of the ingredients and will try to make it adding meat. It looks amazing! Thanks for sharing.

[@goerdtjt]

Outstanding video!! Love the idea of baking the zucchini first. I never knew that and when I tried making it my first time, it came out so watery so I never made it again. You’ve brought new light for me!!

[@DelightsToShare]

Thank you goerdtjt!! Glad this video helped!!

[@laneyspangle4474]

As a vegetarian this recipe is great and tastes good to thank you for sharing

[@ms.thomas5758]

You can also lightly salt them and cover to sweat the zucchini instead of pre baking.

[@briggitterod4101]

Made this ..I made my own white sauce instead of red and it was so delicious. Easy, fast and super good...thank you !!

[@miztri]

Nice video! I would've been nice to add seasoning such as garlic, basil, oregano etc or Italian blend herbs

[@graciethankful4643]

Great!!! I'm Italian and that is an answered prayer. My husband is diabetic can't have pasta and we love all the ingredients. We are going to have it Saturday cause I'm making homemade Italian tomato sauce Friday. God bless

[@ellenmcintyre1247]

Coat the inside of your foil with PAM or equivilent, so it doesn't stick to the cheese.

[@HoneyLoveEnt]

Mmm mmm trying this

[@amyamy1097]

So good!thank you☺

[@Geonious]

I'm making this right now! But, I changed it up a little bit. I added a ground beef, onions, peppers, chopped garlic mixture. I also found it easier to spread the ricotta on the zucchini first, then the sauce, topped with the beef mixture, and mozz cheese. Repeat three times and in the oven till done! Thanks for posting this video!

[@Geonious]

Update: We just finished eating. WOW!!! Let me tell you. This is a fantastic dinner! Paired with a nice salad and some garlic bread, you are SET!! What's really great is, you don't get the classic "carb coma" after eating this dish since there's no pasta. FYI: my wife doesn't like ricotta cheese and is very finicky when it comes to trying new food. She actually went back for seconds! I consider this dish a SUCCESS!

[@vpjuicee321]

Yummy!

[@anitajackson9209]

Making this soon

[@aheartofworship27]

As a follow-up I tried the recipe and it came out too runny. This was because I used my convention counter top oven and should of done it in my stove oven. I loved my flavors because I did an onion & garlic sofrito and added Italian seasonings & fresh basil & added my spaghetti sauce of choice. So next time no short cuts...She did warn us to be sure we dried out the zucchini well.

[@ErinDavila76]

What!? No garlic? Blasphemy! Lol, Garlic is life.

[@aheartofworship27]

Y U M. I WILL TRY IT OUT TOMORROW....

[@faerefolke]

(Low, slow voice)Oh, yeah!

[@thebestcommentary788]

Very nice illustration even though there's no meat 😣....

[@DelightsToShare]

Glad you liked the illustration!! You could try adding seasoned and cooked ground beef in the top layer if you want.

[@ColtsGirl86]

You can add meat :) vodka sauce is wonderful with chicken :) I feel like it would also be amazing with adding some chopped mushrooms

[@sussiohlund9139]

Minus carrot plus meat=I will do it👍

[@sassysanders3997]

[@DelightsToShare]

Thank you Sassy Sanders!!

[@rjjuliavaldez3101]

I see a Cutco knife 😁

[@italybeautyful]

Looks amazing!!!! I would add some walnuts and raisins and parmeggiano reggiano with panko on top!... would taste amazing....

[@lindahammond249]

Nice recipe, except I would not add carrots and I would mix the mozzarella with some parmesan or pecariono.

[@kampekhoon6887]

[@dneuman7455]

bottom layer egg plant, 2 layer squash spaghetti strands the other two layers zucchini.

[@katg5638]

Had to turn the volume up to high and you were still to quiet.0

[@jax-zm1bb]

Actually, because the cheese is used, this dish would be classified as VEGAN, not vegetarian. Vegetarians do not eat eggs or dairy products. However, cashew nuts can be ground into a smooth paste that tastes like cheese when slightly salted instead of dairy cheese. :)

[@Kilex6522]

Lasagne doesn't have NOODLES, but does use pasta sheets. Noodles are ramen.

[@samyjam3568]

looks so yummy , I just finished putting my Lasagnia in oven but without riccota cheese. waiting for the final result
