How to Make Amy Truong Zucchini Low Carb Lasagna

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly oil a large lasagna pan (approximately 9x13 inches) with garlic-infused olive oil.
  3. In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef (or Italian sausage) and 1 medium onion, chopped, over medium-high heat until the meat is browned and the onions are tender. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Return the meat and onions to the skillet. Add 28 oz crushed tomatoes, 15 oz tomato sauce, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp dried basil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 16 oz cottage cheese, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (or more, to taste), 1 tbsp sriracha (optional), 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, and 2 tbsp all-purpose flour until well combined.
  7. Spread half of the meat sauce evenly in the prepared lasagna pan.
  8. Layer half of the sliced zucchini (approximately 3 medium zucchini, thinly sliced) over the meat sauce.
  9. Spread the entire cottage cheese mixture evenly over the zucchini.
  10. Top with the remaining meat sauce and the remaining zucchini slices.
  11. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
  12. Sprinkle with additional black pepper and red pepper flakes to taste.
  13. Bake uncovered for 40 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the zucchini is tender.
  14. Let cool completely for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. Even better the next day!
