What speaks for the zucchini lasagna

A lot. Very much. :) Zucchini lasagna is ready much faster than a normal lasagna.

Because while the normal recipe takes a relatively long time until the pasta sheets are soft, the low carb pasta sheets are ready in less than half the time.

The zucchini itself speaks for the low carb lasagna recipe. Because zucchini consists mostly of water - which also explains the few calories.

There are 20 calories in 100 grams of zucchini. By comparison, 100 grams of lasagna sheets contain 350 calories.

Zucchini lasagna is incredibly juicy. And it's so delicious that we no longer serve normal lasagna at the office: We only serve low carb lasagna.

Ingredients
 

  • 1-2 Piece small zucchinis approx. 200 gram
  • 250 Gram Minced meat
  • 50 Gram Tomatoes
  • 100 Gram strained tomatoes
  • 1 EL Tomato paste
  • 1 Piece Onion
  • 2 Piece Carrots
  • 2 TL dried oregano and thyme
  • 1/2 Confederation Basil
  • 2 Toes Garlic
  • 1 Piece Mozzarella
  • 100 Gram grated cheese

Anleitung

  • Preheat the oven to 170° convection or 180° top and bottom heat.
  • Chop the onion, garlic, tomatoes and carrots.
  • Fry the onion with the garlic in olive oil.
  • Add the minced meat and the carrots. Fry until hot, add salt and pepper.
  • Now add the finely chopped tomatoes, tomato paste and strained tomatoes. Follow with thyme and oregano.
  • Put the lid on the pan and let the bolognese sauce simmer gently for 5 minutes. Let the bolognese simmer without the lid, so that some of the liquid can evaporate. At the very end, sprinkle in the fresh basil leaves.
  • Cut the mozzarella and zucchini into thin slices.
  • The first layer of your lasagna is the ground beef sauce. It is followed by a row of zucchini. Then the mozzarella.
  • Now again meat sauce and zucchini. The top layer should be bolognese. Sprinkle the lasagna with grated cheese.
  • Now put the lasagna in the oven for 25 minutes. If you feel that your lasagna is still too runny, leave it in the oven a little longer. To prevent the cheese from getting too dark, you can cover the zucchini lasagna with aluminum foil.
  • The low carb zucchini lasagna goes well with a green salad! Let it taste good!

Our conclusion

And convinced by the zucchini lasagna? You save a lot of calories and benefit from many other advantages that zucchini provide.

If your low carb lasagna has become too runny, it may be due to the tomatoes. Especially in winter, they are often watery. Make sure that the sauce does not contain too much liquid. And if the zucchini lasagna is still too liquid, it doesn't matter. It still tastes good :)
