Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon olive oil
One 20-ounce package cremini mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
15 ounces spinach, rinsed and drained
3 large zucchinis (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 pound mozzarella
6 fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
3 cups low-fat cottage cheese
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
2 eggs, beaten
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Two 24-ounce jars store-bought marinara sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and mushrooms and saute until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic. Add the spinach and cook, stirring, until it wilts. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, trim the ends of the zucchini. Using a knife, carefully slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips, about 1/16 inch thick. If the zucchini looks watery, lay the slices on paper towels to absorb excess moisture before using.
  • Grate the mozzarella cheese and set aside.
  • Cut the basil into a chiffonade by stacking the leaves on top of one another, rolling them tightly and then cutting across. Finely chop the parsley. In a medium bowl, combine the herbs, cottage cheese, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, the eggs, salt and pepper and stir well.
  • To assemble the lasagna, place a third of the mushrooms and spinach mixture over the bottom of a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Spoon a layer of marinara on top and cover with half of the zucchini strips, carefully overlapping the edges. Spoon half of the cottage cheese mixture onto the zucchini and spread to distribute evenly. Sprinkle half the mozzarella on top of the cottage cheese mixture. Repeat the process above, layering the mushrooms and spinach, marinara, the remaining zucchini strips, cottage cheese, and mozzarella into the dish. Top with the remaining mushrooms and spinach, followed by a final layer of marinara.
  • Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of the Parmesan over the top and bake until the lasagna is hot and bubbly, about 40 minutes. Allow to stand for 35 minutes before cutting into squares.

1 teaspoon sea salt
2 cups good-quality sun-dried tomatoes, soaked in water for at least 2 hours (dry-packed)
1 medium ripe tomatoes, diced
1/4 small onion, chopped
1 garlic clove
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 teaspoons raw honey

1 pinch fresh ground black pepper
3 medium zucchini, ends trimmed
3 medium under ripen tomatoes (any type)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leave
basil leaves

Steps:

  • Lemon-Filbert "Ricotta".
  • Place the filberts, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and salt in a food processor, and pulse a few times, until thoroughly combined. Gradually add 6 tablespoons water, and pulse until the texture becomes fluffy, like ricotta. Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside.
  • Tomato Sauce.

  • Basil-Pine Nut Pesto.
  • Place all ingredients in a blender, and process until smooth.

  • Using a mandoline or vegetable peeler, shave zucchini lengthwise into very thin slices, then cut in half crosswise. Cut the tomatoes in half, and each half into thin slices. Line the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with two layers of zucchini slices. Brush the zucchini lightly with olive oil, spread 1/3 of the tomato sauce over it, and top with small dollops of "ricotta" and pesto, using 1/3 of each. Layer on 1/3 of the tomato slices, and sprinkle with 1/3 of the oregano and thyme. Add another double layer of zucchini and repeat twice more with the tomato sauce, pesto, ricotta, tomato slices, and herbs. Serve immediately, or cover with plastic and let sit at room temperature for a few hours. Garnish with basil.

ZUCCHINI, TOMATO, AND LAMB LASAGNA



Zucchini, Tomato, and Lamb Lasagna image

Using zucchini instead of lasagna noodles helps lighten the dish -- and also makes it gluten-free.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Lamb Recipes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for baking sheets
5 medium zucchini, cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 yellow onion, diced small
2 garlic cloves
1 1/4 pounds ground lamb or beef
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 large tomatoes, diced large
1/4 cup fresh oregano leaves
10 ounces part-skim ricotta (1 cup)
1/2 ounce Parmesan, grated (2 tablespoons)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Brush two rimmed baking sheets with oil. Divide zucchini between sheets; arrange in a single layer, turning once to coat. Season with salt and pepper; roast until softened, 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add onion and cook until softened, 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add lamb and cook, breaking up meat with a spoon, until browned, 6 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer lamb to paper towels to drain and pour off fat from skillet. Return lamb to skillet; add tomato paste, tomatoes, and oregano. Stir to combine. Cook until tomato liquid is almost evaporated, 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Reduce oven to 400 degrees. Spoon half the lamb mixture into an 8-inch square baking dish. Top with half the zucchini slices, overlapping to fit. Repeat layering with remaining lamb mixture and zucchini. Spread ricotta over top; sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake until sauce is bubbling and cheese is browned in spots, 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
