### 👩🍳 **How to Make Zucchini Lasagna**
#### 1. **Prepare the zucchini**
Slice zucchini thinly (about 1/8 inch) using a mandoline or sharp knife. Lay slices on paper towels and lightly salt to draw out moisture. Let sit for 10-15 minutes, then pat dry.
#### 2. **Cook the meat sauce**
In a skillet, sauté garlic until fragrant. Add ground beef or sausage and cook until browned. Drain excess fat. Stir in marinara sauce and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 10 minutes.
#### 3. **Assemble the lasagna**
In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of meat sauce. Layer zucchini slices, followed by dollops of ricotta, shredded mozzarella, and more meat sauce. Repeat layers until ingredients are used, ending with mozzarella and Parmesan on top.
#### 4. **Bake**
Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 10-15 minutes until bubbly and golden.
#### 5. **Rest and serve**
Let lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley.
