COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:
Hangry Zucchini Lasagna

  1. Lay zucchini slices out on parchment paper and salt them. Sweat them for at least 30 minutes. Pat dry with paper towel and set aside.
  2. In a large pan over medium-high heat, add oil and fresh herbs. Sauté herbs until crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove herbs and discard.
  3. Add onion and sauté until tender. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in ground chicken and chicken sausage. Brown until fully cooked through.
  4. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and tomato paste. Add crushed red pepper, salt, and pepper to taste. Bring to a heavy simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until flavors are well-integrated. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. Preheat oven to 350º.
  6. In a medium bowl, add ricotta, store-bought parmesan, egg, oregano, basil, parsley, and garlic powder. Mix until well-combined.
  7. In a 13×9″ pan, add a thin layer of meat sauce to bottom of pan. Arrange zucchini slices to form a complete layer. Spread half of ricotta mixture evenly over zucchini. Top with a layer of meat sauce. Top meat with 1/3 of shredded cheese. Repeat layers with zucchini, other half of ricotta mixture, meat sauce, and another 1/3 of shredded cheese. Top with another layer of zucchini, then meat sauce, then last 1/3 of shredded cheese. Top with ~1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan.
  8. Cover lasagna and bake for 40 minutes. Raise oven temp to 375º. Uncover and bake for an additional 35 minutes or until cheese on top is bubbling and golden. Remove from oven and let set for at least 10 minutes. Garnish with freshly torn basil. Serve immediately.
