Ingredients

3 small Zucchini sliced lengthwise
2 cups Mozzarella cheese
6 Black olives sliced (optional)

Marinara Meat Sauce

3 cups Marinara sauce
1 pound ground beef cooked and drained

Ricotta Cheese Mixture

1 cup Ricotta cheese or cottage cheese
1 Egg
1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray baking dish with non-stick spray.
Add about 1/4 cup marinara meat sauce to the bottom of the dish (add sliced olives to sauce if desired)
Add garlic powder, italian seasoning, and egg to the ricotta cheese. Mix well.
Begin layering zucchini strips in single layer. Top with ricotta cheese, sprinkle some mozzarella cheese, then add more marinara meat sauce.
Continue layers until baking dish is filled up (should have at least 3 layers).
Sprinkle remaining mozzarella cheese over the top, cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Uncover and bake an additional 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let it rest for 10 minutes (additional liquid will begin to thicken).
ENJOY!
