Ingredients

• 3 medium zucchini, sliced lengthwise
• 1 lb ground beef
• 2 cups no-sugar-added marinara sauce
• 1½ cups whole-milk ricotta
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella
• ½ cup grated parmesan
• 1 large egg

4. Heat the oven to 375°F. Spread a thin layer of meat sauce in a 9×13″ dish.
5. Layer zucchini, ricotta mixture, meat sauce and mozzarella, repeating twice.
6. Top with the remaining mozzarella and parmesan, cover with foil and bake 25 minutes.
7. Uncover and bake 15 minutes more until bubbling and golden. Rest 10 minutes before slicing.
