There’s nothing about a good, hearty lasagne that doesn’t scream comfort.. the taste, the smells that fills the house, the gooey melted cheese. Well, we were absolutely delighted when the efforts of this recipe came together so deliciously.. and it’s fully keto-approved!!

Zucchini Lasagne

Prep Time 25 minutes

Cook Time 40 minutes

Total Time 1 hour 5 minutes

Servings 4 people

Ingredients

400 g (14 oz) ground beef
3 tbsp avocado oil or refined coconut oil
100 g (3½ oz) red pepper chopped
100 g (3½ oz) scallion chopped
60 g (2 oz) celery chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 tsps dried basil
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
100 ml (½ cup) bone broth or water

Cheese topping

300 ml (1½ cup) sour cream
140 g (5 oz) cheddar cheese grated
60 g (2 oz) parmesan cheese grated
1/4 tsp pink himalayan salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
8 tbsp fresh parsley finely chopped

Lasagne Sheets

200 g (7 oz) zucchini sliced lengthwise

Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 180°C (350°F)
Sauté the scallion, garlic, celery and red pepper in the oil for a few minutes until softened
Stir in the ground beef and cook until no longer pink
Add the tomato paste, spices and stir. Add the water or bone broth and bring to the boil
Lower the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the liquid has reduced (the zucchini sheets don't soak up the liquid in this recipe so it needs to be quite a dry consistency)

For The Topping

Mix the sour cream with the cheddar cheese and two thirds of the parmesan (reserve the rest of the parmesan for the end)
Add the salt and pepper and stir in the fresh parsley

Putting The Lasagne Together

Spoon some of the ground beef mixture into the bottom of a suitable lasagne dish
Place a layer of zucchini slices over the beef
Add some of the cheese sauce over the zucchini slices
Repeat until the last layer is the cheese sauce then sprinkle the remaining parmesan on the top
Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes. Voila!
