ZUCCHINI LASAGNA | the best zucchini lasagna recipe
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июн 2024
- Zucchini lasagna is a fresh take on a classic comfort food dish. It's loaded with veggies, but still has the rich flavors and scrumptious texture of a traditional lasagna. Top it off with some grated parmesan cheese and basil leaves, and you'll have the perfect weeknight meal for the whole family.
Zucchini lasagna is tasty gluten-free, low carb and keto recipe. It's packed with vegetables, but it's still got that hearty, cheesy lasagna flavor. Albeit a little lighter and healthier (which is a definite win).
In the video I show a couple ways to cut zucchini into lasagna noodles as well how to get the water out of zucchini lasagna. Don't want a watery zucchini lasagna? I've got you covered! But make sure to check out more tips on the full blog post recipe below. Enjoy!

You guys are gonna LOVE this recipe! I've been eating leftovers all week and I still can't get enough of it. Don't forget to tag me on Instagram when you make it - I'd love to see. Enjoy! xo - Lisa
I made this today after watching this video and it was amazing!!!!!
Downshiftology,
" Thanks for sharing this recipe with your viewers ! "
I've had good experience with pre-roasting the zucchini slices in a single layer on a sheet pan rather than grilling them. This removes quite a bit of moisture so the texture is more pasta-like. I've also made it with ground turkey instead of beef. Love it!!
Your Are An Iventive Woman 👍 From Roman And Antique Greece In The 21th Century.Amazing 😊
Mrpopum, I like your idea better, do you put salt on top of them? Thank you!
I have made this 4 or 5 times and I love it!! I tweaked it a little. I always add one small can of tomato paste to keep the sauce thick. I like to make it with one pound of hamburger and one pound of hot Italian sausage along with onions mushrooms and a green pepper in the sauce.
That will be very excellent too. Bell peppers and sausages adds flavour to anything
This was fantastic. Thank you!!
Here are measurements in metric for about a half of original recipe
* 2 large zucchinis
* 400 g minced meat
* 3,5 dl ready made pasta sauce
* 175-200 g ricotta or cream cheese
* 50 g Parmesan
* 80-125g mozzarella
* 1 small egg (or 1/2 of a large egg)
* salt
* basil and parsley
Owen 200˚C, appr. 35 min
you are amazing, thanks for sharing!
Thank 🕊you
She said 2lb. Which is 1kg. Which is 2 x 500g
Thank you, we need this for those of us in Asian countries with smaller spaces 🤣
Light of life- they halved the recipe which is approx 450g.
Tried this. Its amazing! It goes to show that lasagna is more about the cheese then the noodles. Thanks Lisa!
So glad you loved this recipe :) And yes! Cheese definitely does make a difference.
I love how much information you give! These tips are great for people that are learning to cook. Looks delicious!
Thanks Michelle! I hope my videos can provide tons of tips and information?
Agreed
I too appreciated every bit of information she mentioned & presented, excellent instructional presentation! Oh and...YUM! 😋
Downshiftology That’s what I love abt your channel, Lisa, in addition to the recipes themselves of course. You always show multiple ways to do things for those of us that might not have the tools you do. I have a Pampered Chef mandolin that I bought to help my sister out when she was hosting a party. My husband used to use it but has cut himself & now has to admit his diabetic neuropathy is in his hands not just his legs & feet. I swear I’m donating that dang mandolin behind his back bc he still tries to use it scaring the dickens out of me when he does.
Anyway ty for all the alternative tricks & tips. You rock.🥳
Except most of her tips were garbage.
She used a boning knife to even cut the finished lasagna and held a mandolin, parallel with her body, with the addition of a heavy steel cut glove, to possibly ruin the blade. Her lasagna is a soggy bland mess, and could've been cut with a pinky, but HD cameras are a godsend.
Don't always trust these cooking videos.
That looks so tasty! And I can just smell those fresh herbs right now.
That lasagna looks amazing! Will definitely make it. Thanks SO much Lisa ❤
Ty for the methods for folks that don’t have a kitchenaid. Will def try this using my mandoline.
Great! Hope you enjoy this recipe :)
I'm terrified of mandolines!
@@AzusaMan And you are 100% right. I cut my finger in one 2 weeks ago, and by "cut" I mean: the finger was severed into 2 pieces, and one piece went inside the receptacle of mandoline. Rushed to E.R., they said they can't sew the other piece back. So, I am now on a cruisade to tell everyone to drop, throw away any mandoline they have, and to never buy if they hadn't bought one. Too bad I can't post the picture of my severed finger.
Thank you for tip of the cut free glove! I never use my mandolin for that reason. Solved 😃
Would LOVE to see a how-to on your patio herb garden
Will definitely keep that in mind :)
@@Downshiftology me too. Ty.
Love the way you present your recipes. Concise and to the point. Editing to perfection with voice overs as opposed to live audio. Certainly in my Top 10 for all the many hundreds of cooking videos I've watched over the years. Wow! Over 1 million views! That says it all. :)
Thanks so much! 😊
Such a beautiful, fresh looking tray of lasagna goodness! Loved the additional helpful tips! Grazie, bella!
Looks amazing, going to give this a try!
Yes! More low carb casserole dishes please!
I'll add them to the to-do list! :)
Just wanted to thank you for your printable recipes! I am old school and love printing recipes neatly! Your site is one of the best for this. Thank you for all the hard work. I also trust your recommendations on products and got a lot from the links! Thank YOU!!!
You and I both! I still print recipes out myself :) I hope you enjoy this recipe
I made this lasagne and I can honestly say it was amazing. It was so good I ate it before I remembered to photograph it. Sorry 😬 great channel keep up the good work.
So glad you loved this recipe 😊
Do you have any good recommendation for store bought spaghetti sauce?
I like the Contadina Italian herb. Best wishes.
Yum! Yes, more casserole recipes please!
Thank you Lisa! I love casserole recipes. Having the flexibility to freeze portions to eat later is so helpful.
I love casserole ideas too! Will have to whip a new one for the holidays :)
I will definitely try this ! My boyfriend was craving lasagna so I'll be able to surprise him with this recipe !
Amazing! What perfect timing
Going to share this with my friends. One is doing keto, the other has a gluten allergy. And I just love zucchini (or courgette as we call it)! Thank you for sharing.
Perfect! It's a recipe to satisfy all. :)
@@Downshiftology Can you freeze this zucchini lasagne recipe?
@@cl9824
At the beginning of the video, she said yes, it can be frozen.
I needed this in my life. Thank you!!
I can't wait to try this recipe it looks so good
as always, looks incredible and my immediate reaction to everything you post is “wow i have to try this out” great video!!!
Yay! Love to hear that kind of reaction. Thanks Chloe!
That’s it, ... i’m hungry 😋
The problem ? It’s 11PM in France....
Can’t wait to try this! Looks so good!
Thanks for this amazing recipe, Lisa, i can‘t wait to try it! Love your content! ❤️
You're more than welcome Jana. Enjoy the zucchini lasagna!
This recipe is AMAZING! Thank you for all the tips. I love casserole recipes! Please make more :)
Thanks Ashley! I'm sure I'll have many more casseroles for fall and winter. :)
My Italian mother-in-law added grated nutmeg to her ricotta. Just another flavor suggestion.
thats cause its classic in the traditional bechamel as well its used in the milk along with clove, bay, onion and pepper corns
.... I always add Nutmeg to so MANY things, it's a " secret spice ingredient'.
Nutmeg it’s a must on tomato sauce, in my opinion of course, it matches so well.
That looks so good. I can hardly wait till its time to harvest our Zucchini and try your recipe. Thanks for posting.
Fabolous as usual. Thank you.🙏
I made this tonight, it was great. I even forgot to layer the mozz in the middle of the lasagne but I didn't noticed or care. I added diced onions and garlic to the pasta sauce and meat. Very nice! Now I have a few lasagne lunches for the week! Win!
Yay! So glad you loved this recipe! I even froze my last batch and now have delicious leftovers to eat :)
@@Downshiftology The leftovers were amazing! So good second day. I used arrabiatta sauce which got a bit spicier overnight. It balanced the sauce and was a welcome addition next day. I just got my Glasslock containers and I'm so excited to meal prep. Thank you!
It looks so yummy and nutritious recipe my friend I love ❤️ cooking pasta too 😋😋😋🌹🌹🌹
A delicious recipe!! My family LOVED IT! ❤️
I just made this and it is really really good. I’m excited for my hubby to get home. I think he will love it!
I happen to also have the Shepard’s Pie in the oven. I hope that it is just as yummy!
I just want to say thanks for your amazing videos. I’m a new wife and pretty new to the kitchen. You make everything stress free, yummy, easy to clean, and not to mention healthy.
Ah! I’m so glad I stumbled upon you in the RUclips world! You are so inspirational and you are really helping to keep me motivated to minimalize my life, eat healthy, reduce inflammation and just take better care of myself so I can take better care of my family! You’re really helping me make significant changes! Thank you for putting yourself out there- what a privilege to have free access to your advice, knowledge, experience, recipes and tips! I love all your videos especially your wellness, and lifestyle videos because I’m learning how to be a new person and trying to reinvent myself - and definitely need a some guidance on that! Big fan for life! Thank you!
Xxx
Thank you Sara! I hope my posts and videos will inspire you to embark on a healthier lifestyle :) Also, welcome to the Downshiftology community!
Oh my gosh! This looks so good.
Can't believe this can looks so delicious and healthy at the same time. Thanks for inspiring me to make my own version as well!
I made this again for dinner last night and I was able to eliminate almost all the water from the pan! I took 3/4 of a cup of the pasta sauce (instead of the 1/2 cup the recipe requires for the first addition to the casserole) and reduced it down while I was cooking the meat with the sauce. This eliminated the excess water in the final product. I also used the salt drawing method to pull water from the zucc before I added it to the lasagna. Very happy with these results. This dish is a winner and is in the rotation for meal prepping my week! Can't wait to feed it to us for dinner again tonight, I've been thinking about it all day, lol.
So glad you loved this zucchini lasagna 😊 It's definitely a reader favorite. And glad you found a way to reduce the water in the lasagna!
This looks delicious and pretty keto friendly. I love zucchini!
Thanks Sarah! And yes, it's definitely keto friendly. :)
What is Keto?
@@johnsheehan977 Keto is short for a ketogenic diet, which is a way of eating that is low in carbohydrates. When the carb intake is low enough, the body produces ketones. This means your body is burning it's fat stores, after glycogen stores are depleted. It's great for weight loss, energy and many other things.
Hi Lisa. Yes to more casserole recipes, please :) We are moving in to autumn here in the UK so definitely going to be craving more warm, hearty meals. Thanks x
Stay tuned Hannah :) In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this lasagna!
Yeahhhh!!!!
I have been waiting for this lasagna recipe!!🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thank you very much @downshiftology you are the best! 🤗
Amazing! Can't wait for you to try this recipe :)
Downshiftology Lisa I can’t wait either. As soon as my boyfriend comes back from a trip I will make this for us. We are dying to try it.
Xoxo 💋
Ohhhh WOW. This looks amazing, and so do-able! I'd just like to comment on how well-made your video is. It's not only a great-looking tutorial (lighting, music, your clean, bright, kitchen!) but it's so easy to understand and follow. It looks like you covered everything. Thank you so much from a new subscriber!
Thanks so much 😊 And welcome to the Downshiftology community!
I love your patio herb garden Lisa, everyone can grow some of their own food 💕
This is looks delicious
Hahah thanks so much! Having an herb garden definitely comes in handy
Downshiftology I totally agree 🌱
So excited to make this!! I love that I can customize it too! Thanks Lisa for another winner!!!
Thanks Sara! Hope you enjoy this recipe :)
Yum, this looks great and healthy!
Looks amazing - will try this fall! So glad you like cheese and herbs as much as I do!
Cheese and herbs always!
This was absolutely delicious, far exceeded my expectations. I lightly grilled my zucchini as directed, it made all the difference, was not soggy at all. Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Thank you! It looks delicious!
Looks delicious and healthy! Thank you, Lisa!
Hope you love this lasagna!
When I saw the title I presumed it was vegetarian but I was happy to see a comment about lentil substitution. That's a great idea. It's good to modify recipes and try variations. Thanks! To the contributor. 🤣👍
All my recipes can be modified to become a vegetarian version, and lentils are a great protein substitute. You can also add in more veggies such as mushrooms, spinach, onions, eggplant, etc...
You can also toss chopped spinach and a touch of onion into that cheese mix and there’s some added pop! Great recipe!
Great idea Andy!
I LOVE recipes for picky non veggie eaters...always brings a smile to my face when they ask for seconds
I'm amazed how organized & clean you are. You are a great inspiration. I need to lose weight & to focus on the way i feed myself. I dedicate Saturdays or Sundays to cook all afternoon to anticipated my week needs. Wish you well. NICO (France).
Best of luck, Nico! I’m on the same journey. Was overweight in my childhood. Lost it in my late teens and now in my 20’s I’ve started to pile it back on. Lost a bunch again but not where I want to be. It’s tough when you love food so much, but hopefully with these delicious alternatives and similar recipe styles, we can get there, eh?
@@YLS8763 ABSOLUTLY. Thank you for this answer. Good luck to us!
This looks amazing. I’m going to make it but sub brown lentils for the beef ✨
Lentils are a great substitution :)
and as much as i hate mushrooms you could use those in there aswell. more meaty flavour but use the lentils for the texture
@@Downshiftology სყ
I tried this recipe and I love it. The result was so delicious that even my partner likes it. So definitely I will do it again
Great 👍Definitely a recipe to keep on hand!
Thank you for the delicious recipe!🥰Love your channel.🤗
Great video! Cool recipe and lots of additional useful tips!
Definitely going to try this recipe! But girlllll you need to season that meat lol
That's what SHE said... 😐
Lol!
Oh my gosh that looks divine. I haven’t ever placed fresh herbs in between the layers- such a great idea. Can’t wait to make this next week!
Can't wait for you to try this :)
Love this gluten free low carb option!!! 👍
This looks delicious cannot wait to try!☺
Imma pretend like you seasoned that meat first. Looks great though!
LITERALLY was thinking that!!!!
😂😂😂
Omg 🤣😂💀
Some people just have to always interject and make it clear they're so important and smart when really they should shut their know-it-all excrement expeller of mouth and appreciate the fact this lovely women selflessly took the time out of her life to share her recipe and procedure in a concise masterfully edited presentation
You are not really good at pretending- if you really were pretending, you would not have written this comment.
I’m sure it will be delicious 😋 me & my family usually prepare Mediterranean lasagna & we love it but we put layers of eggplant 🍆 too 😍😍 luv from Egypt 🇪🇬
Yes, eggplant is wonderful as well! :)
This looks so good. Can’t wait to make this.
Wow, huge love for this recipe. Thank you very much
Enjoy this lasagna :)
Thank you for the recipe. I was looking for low carbs or no carbs recipes. I use ground turkey, organic marinara sauce, I too use fresh parmesan & mozzarella. I replaced the ricotta with low-fat cottage cheese & I use herbs too.
Sounds good. I don't like rocotta cheese, so i was wondering about substitutes. Thanks for that tip.
Most mandolins usually have a guard to save your fingers!
Omg! This looks sooo good! Definitely gonna try it. Thanks for sharing Lisa ❤️
Can't wait for you to try :)
Oh YUMS! looks sooooo good.
Looking soooo delicious and your All the process is just awesome 👍👍👍
First time heard about this type of recipe..thanks...
Thanks so much for following along :) Hope you enjoy this recipe!
I love zucchini lasagna. I have a similar recipe that I prepare for my family: instead of ricotta& egg, I use a béchamel sauce for a lighted version. Sometimes, I replace the zucchini by eggplant.
Eggplant lasagna is also so delicious! I'll have to make my own recipe coming soon 😊
Do glad I found your channel. It’s very informative and I love the b-roll footage that accompanies the instructions.
Welcome to the Downshiftology community :) Hope you enjoy all my videos / recipes!
This recipe is so healthy and gluten free. Your channel has opened a new world of food for me which is healthy and gluten free. One of the best food channels for me. Thanks a lot😊.
I am so glad to hear that 😊And welcome to the Downshiftology community!
Most of my 2020 resolutions involve saving up for items I've seen on this channel. #KitchenGoals
Another great video Lisa!! I apologise on behalf of the three “slip of the keyboard” thumbs down people. They clearly didn’t mean it 😍
Haha! 😂 Thanks Wendy! x
This is a great Zucchini idea!!! I can’t wait to try it! Thanks for sharing this yummyness😋
You are the best, greetings from Egypt 🇪🇬
This looks amazing!! I just found your channel and I can’t wait to meal prep healthy meals! I’m cooking for one. How long would this recipe last in the fridge and at what point would I need to freeze it? I’m still scared of the freezer as what goes in tends not to come out so I try to avoid freezing!
Hi Sarah - So glad you discovered Downshiftology! This lasagna can last for up to 5 days in the fridge, and then must be frozen after that :) Also, I just uploaded a Fall Meal Prep video today if you need some new inspiration!
Ok, just made this and seriously amazing!
Yay! Glad you loved this recipe :)
Lisa, thank you for another great recipe. Will definitely be making this one.
And the ricotta mixture- what a smart twist on a quite heavy béchamel!
Yes please, more casserole videos!🌸
Yay! Can't wait for you to try this recipe :) Will keep in mind for more casserole dishes coming soon.
Not only have I watched this video in Awe of how beautifully you have created this recipe but your editing and quality of this project just gave me such joy to watch!! I will definitely try this recipe!!
Thanks so much! Hope you enjoy 😊
Looks delicious 😋 But I want to try it with both lasagna and zucchini together 😄
This looks so good. I'm not on keto though. So does anyone know about how many calories a serving size would be?
I love your cooking tools and kitchen and recipes.
Thank you :)
This looks so delicious! I’m so excited to try it out next time for my grandma ❤️
It's incredibly delicious! I hope you and your family love it Bea. :)
I use soaked walnuts and mushrooms chopped.
