Ingredients

cooking spray
1 ½ large zucchinis, thinly sliced lengthwise
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground beef
1 ½ cups low-carb marinara sauce
2 teaspoons salt, divided
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (8 ounce) container ricotta cheese
1 egg
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Pat dry zucchini slices with a paper towel to get rid of excess moisture.
Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add ground beef; cook until browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Add marinara sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, oregano, and pepper; simmer for 10 minutes.
Combine remaining 1 teaspoon salt, ricotta cheese, egg, and nutmeg in a bowl; mix well.
Make 1 layer of zucchini slices in the prepared baking dish. Cover with 1/2 of the sauce. Add another layer of zucchini slices. Spread ricotta mixture on top. Sprinkle with 1 cup mozzarella cheese. Add another layer of zucchini slices; cover with the remaining sauce and top with 1 cup mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove aluminum foil and bake until top is golden, about 15 minutes more.

Ingredients

1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 teaspoons olive oil
500 g eggplants, sliced lengthwise, unpeeled about 5mm thick (or 17.6 oz)
1 (440 g) can tomato puree (or 15.5 oz )
1 (440 g) can tomatoes, drained and chopped (or 15.5 oz)
1 tablespoon finely chopped oregano
1 tablespoon chopped basil
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese

Steps:

Preheat the griller.
Combine the lemon juice and olive oil and brush it on the eggplant slices.
Lay them in a single layer on a nonstick baking tray and grill both sides for about 3 minutes each or until golden brown.
Preheat the oven to 180C degrees.
In a bowl combine the tomato puree, tomatoes, oregano, basil, cayenne pepper and garlic.
In another bowl combine the parmesan and breadcrumbs.
Spoon one third of the tomato mixture into the base of a lasagne or casserole dish.
Sprinkle with one third of the breadcrumb mixture and cover with a layer of eggplant.
Spread half the ricotta cheese over the eggplant and continue to layer in the same order, ending with the breadcrumb mixture (in my case hopefully).
Scatter the mozzarella cheese over the top and bake for about 45 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
Serve with salad and crusty bread.
