If you love the flavors in traditional Italian lasagna but are watching your carbs this recipe is for you. This dish has been my favorite lasagna for a few years, we don’t even miss the noodles. The zucchini “noodles” add flavor and nutrition to the dish. I haven’t served it to anyone that hasn’t loved it.

Layers of ricotta cheese, marinara meat sauce and zucchini make this dish delicious.

Top with mozzarella cheese, cover with foil and bake.

Yummy!
