Zucchini Lasagna

A lasagna recipe straight from Italy through Instagram’s @cotto_al_dente also at linktr.ee/cotto_al_dente

INGREDIENTS:

  • 8 oz ricotta

  • 2 zucchini

  • 2 tablespoons of parmesan

  • 1 cup of broccoli 

  • ¼ cup of mozzarella 

  • Nutmeg to taste

  • Salt to taste.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Cut the zucchini with the mandolin very thinly (just over 1 mm thick).

  2. Boil broccoli until soft enough to mash with a fork. 

  3. Place broccoli, ricotta, nutmeg, salt and parmesan in a bowl. Mash and mix everything well. 

  4. Start assembling the lasagna by placing the cut zucchini slices on the bottom, overlapping them slightly. Place half of the ricotta mixture and the grated mozzarella on top. Cover with another layer of zucchini. Place the remaining ricotta and broccoli mixture on top, and more mozzarella. Cook in the oven at 365ºF for about 38-40 minutes.

Enjoy!
