Directions
Start by cutting the zucchini ribbons which replace the noodles in this dish. You will need a mandolin (affiliate link) fitted with adjustable thickness settings to cut the zucchini into thin 1/8th inch thick ribbons, its quick and easy but please be careful you dont cut yourself.,Since zucchini tends to be very watery, grilling it first is a must (use my grill pan). After its grilled, I leave it on paper towels to soak up extra water while I make the sauce.,I take this a step further and leave it uncovered in the oven while it bakes for half of the bake time, which lets the heat from the oven dry out any more moisture. The results are worth the extra steps, dont skip them!,Noodle-less Butternut Squash Lasagna,Lasagna Soup,Three Cheese Zucchini Stuffed Lasagna Rolls,,
