Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the zucchini planks for about 3 minutes until just tender; drain well and set aside on paper towels to dry.

  2. 2

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef with the onion until the meat is no longer pink and the onion is tender, about 6-8 minutes; drain off any fat.

  3. 3

    Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, garlic, oregano, basil, thyme, water, and black pepper to the skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes, until the sauce reduces to roughly 2 cups.

  4. 4

    In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg, then stir in the cottage cheese, half of the mozzarella, and the flour until combined.

  5. 5

    In a greased 11x7-inch baking dish, layer half of the meat sauce, half of the zucchini, then all of the cottage cheese mixture. Top with the remaining meat sauce and remaining zucchini.

  6. 6

    Bake uncovered at 375°F (190°C) for 30 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella over the top and bake 10 minutes longer until bubbly and golden.

  7. 7

    Let the lasagna stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving so the layers set.
