* 3-4 medium zucchini, cut into thin ribbons - I used a large veggie peeler/cheese cutter to make slices
* 8 oz to 1 lb lean ground beef
* 1 c. fresh spinach leaves, kind of packed down
* 1 jar of your favorite pasta sauce - I used Bertolli Fire Roasted Tomato
* 1 ¼ c. 2% milk mozzarella or pizza blend cheese, shredded
* 1 c. fat free cottage cheese
cut zucchini into thin strips lengthwise, using a vegetable peeler or a mandolin cutter, and allow to drain between sheets of paper towels to absorb excess moisture for 15–30 minutes. You can also salt the slices to help draw out the moisture, but I avoided the extra sodium and had some excess moisture in my lasagna that I drew out with a turkey baster between the covered and uncovered portion of the baking process.
brown and drain ground beef, add chopped bell pepper and onions, and cook until softened. add pasta sauce and ½ c. spinach leaves and allow to reduce/thicken on medium to low heat
mix cottage cheese, ½ c. spinach, egg and garlic powder in food processor and blend until smooth
begin layering zucchini in a greased dish, layering cottage cheese mixture, then another layer of zucchini, then pasta sauce mixture. Repeat layers until your dish it full, layer with cheese on top.
Baked covered for 35 minutes at 350, then uncovered for 10–15 minutes more, or until cheese on top is golden brown
