Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 1 pounds - lean ground beef
- 1 1/2 teaspoons - salt
- 1 teaspoons - olive oil
- 1/2 - large onion chopped
- 3 - cloves garlic minced
- 28 ounces - canned crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons - fresh basil chopped
- - black pepper
- 3 - med zucchini 8 oz each, sliced 1/8 in thick
- 1 1/2 cups - part-skim ricotta
- 1/4 cups - Parmesan cheese
- 1 - large egg
- 4 cups - part-skim mozzarella cheese shredded
Directions:
In a med sauce pan, brown meat and season with salt. When cooked drain in colander to remove any fat. Add olive oil to the pan and saute garlic and onions about 2 mins. Return the meat to the pan, add tomatoes, basil, slat and pepper. Simmer on low for at least 30-40 mins, covered. Do not add extra water, the sauce should be thick. Meanwhile, slice zucchini into 1/8" thick slices, add lightly salt and set aside for 10 mins. Zucchini has a lot of water when cooked, salting it takes out a lot of moisture. After 10 mins, blot excess moisture with a paper towel. Preheat a gas grill or grill pan to med high, and grill 2-3 mins per side, until slightly browned. Place on paper towels to soak any excess moisture. Preheat oven to 375. In a med bowl mix ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese and egg. Stir well. In a 9x12 casserole spread 1/2 c of sauce on the bottom and layer the zucchini to cover. Spread 1/2 c of the ricotta cheese mixture, then top with 1 c of the mozzarella cheese and repeat the process until all your ingredients are used up. The last layer top with remaining zucchini and sauce, cover with foil and bake 30 mins. Uncover the foil and bake 20 mins (to dry up the sauce then place the remaining 1 c mozzarella and bake until melted, 10 mins. Let stand about 5-10 mins before serving.
