Amy Truong Zucchini Low-Carb Lasagna image

Low-Carb, healthy version (with an optional kick) of your favorite comfort dish--LASAGNA!!! I usually make this on a Sunday, let cool, and put in the fridge to eat during the work week. I like letting the flavors blend together. I've always thought day old+ lasagna tastes the best!
