    Zucchini Lasagna (Lasagne) – Low Carb, Great for anyone going low carb OR who has so many zucchini, they don’t know what to do!! 🙂 We found the sauce to be very mild I think it would be better with twice as much garlic I boiled my zucchini slices for about 3 minutes so they were partially cooked I wanted to make sure they were soft in the finished dish or I knew the kids wouldn’t eat them 😉 The cottage cheese provides a slightly tangy note I think we would have preferred ricotta, but that is personal taste use my 11×7 baking dish and got 6 pieces the size of what you see in my photos Both of the guys ate two so it fed 4 of us, and I double the meat Adjust the recipe accordingly for your family , I need to make this today for Saturday party, and 1 for Sunday party if the 1st turns out Will it get watery if I cook it ahead of time?, Nice easy quick way to get a lasagna like dish Only caveat as an Italian American I say USE ricotta please it give any lasagna dish authenticity, better flavor and texture Fresh basil adds more flavor too
