  • 1 lb ground beef, turkey or sausage (optional)
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small sweet onion, diced
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Noodles

  • 4 lasagna noodles

Spinach Ricotta Mixture

  • 1 cup ricotta
  • 1 egg
  • 1-2 cups spinach, chopped fine
  • 1 cup shredded parmesan
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 1 ½ cup shredded mozzarella

Instructions
 

Sauce

  • In a pan on the stove, add avocado oil or olive oil and add in your meat (if using). Break up the meat into small pieces.
  • Once the meat is browned, add in the onion, garlic and marinara sauce. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Noodles

  • Add 4 lasagna noodles to a flat bowl or pan and cover completely with hot water. Allow to sit for 20 minutes.
  • Note that you may want to rinse your noodles after if using gluten free to remove some of the starch.
  • Using a mandoline (or very carefully with a knife), cut 4 thin slices of zucchini.
  • Lay the zucchini out on a towel and sprinkle with salt to "sweat" the zucchini aka bring out the moisture. Sit for 20 minutes then pat down completely with a towel.
  • Cut the lasagna noodles in half then cut the zucchini slices in half.

Ricotta Spinach Mixture

  • Add all of the ricotta spinach mixture ingredients listed above (aside from ½ cup of the mozzarella) in a bowl and mix until completely combined.

Assemble the Lasagna

  • Preheat the oven to 375℉.
  • Place 4 ramekins on a baking sheet then add ~¼ cup of the sauce into the bottom of each.
  • Next, place one half of the lasagna noodle on top.
  • Spoon and spread out ~¼ cup of the ricotta mixture over the top, then sprinkle some mozzarella over it.
  • Lay down 2 half slices of the zucchini on top of the cheese.
  • Next, layer the rest of the sauce followed by a lasagna noodle half, the remaining ricotta mixture and half of the remaining mozzarella.

Bake

  • Cover the ramekins with the lids and bake for 30 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes, remove the lids, add the remaining mozzarella and bake for 15 minutes uncovered.
  • Allow to cool slightly and enjoy right away!

Notes

  • If you'd like to omit the meat, feel free to do so.
  • You can swap the noodles for zucchini slices if desired.
  • If you can't have dairy in your diet, simply swap for dairy free alternatives you enjoy.
