Zucchini Lasagne

This girl doesn’t like cooked veggies. Even though I know all the facts about how important it is to get your veggies in, I just don’t like them. That was until a friend of mine convinced me to give this a try. Let me tell you what, I will be the first to the table for this lasagne and don’t judge when I’m getting seconds. This is sure to please the whole family and it only takes a few ingredients.

Some substitutions you can make based on your preferences or desire to make it even a little more healthy than it already is are the following. Love garlic, add as much as you like! I love Italian sausage however a more low-fat option is ground Turkey but if you go that direction, don’t forget the Italian seasoning for more flavor. I also love mushrooms but they aren’t necessary. Omit then if it’s not your cup of tea!

Ok so let’s get this pasta free lasagne going! Yeah, I said pasta free!
