Zucchini Lasagna

Healthy low carb Zucchini Lasagna with layers of zucchini instead of traditional pasta. Classic comfort food experience but guilt free at only 338 calories per huge slice!

Zucchini lasagna with layers of delicious garlic and herb homemade meat sauce, low carb zucchini noodles and melted cheesy goodness on top. It is so good even zucchini hating kids loved it!

Then again, in this house, there’s no way to avoid zucchini from stuffed zucchini boats to zucchini fritters, I love to find ways to use this healthy ingredient.

This recipe is definitely a labor of love and requires about 40 minutes of prep but the flavorful results are totally worth it.
