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.
