How to create a lighter lasagna by replacing pasta with zucchini
In short: Discover how to transform a heavy classic into a lighter dish by swapping traditional noodles for grilled zucchini. This video guides you through the specific techniques needed to manage moisture and maximize flavor.
The recipe utilizes 1 lb of lean ground beef and a 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes to create a simmered base. A key technical step involves slicing three medium zucchini into 1/8-inch slices and salting them for 10 minutes; this process removes unwanted moisture before they are grilled for 1-2 minutes per side on a grill pan or BBQ.
The assembly involves layering the grilled zucchini with a mixture of ricotta, Parmigiano Reggiano, and egg, along with basil and mozzarella. The final dish is baked at 375°F (190ºC) for 45 minutes covered, followed by 15 minutes uncovered, and must rest for 15 minutes before serving to set the layers.
