Zucchini lasagna


 Delicious but I did cook it way longer than the 40 minutes. Pictured above is how it looked at 40 minutes, but I let it cool for 30 minutes and realized the zucchini was not done....the zucchini was too rubbery so I cooked it about another 40 minutes and it was perfect. This would not work if you had the mozzarella on top at the start of cooking. I used a smaller amount and placed it all in my 7 by 9 pan. But the full ingredients are below.

I found  the recipe here: https://fourseasonsofautumn.com/wprm_print/14048

Go to link for all the directions. Here are the ingredients:

  • 3 Zucchini Sliced thin with a Mandolin (used favorite knife)

  • 1/2 cup Fresh Basil Leaves (used most of this in the filling below for a total of 1 cup)
