Mock Lasagna

I really enjoy this lasagna!
Have you ever wondered what "lasagna" means?
Definition:

-a baked Italian dish consisting of wide strips of pasta cooked and layered with meat or vegetables, cheese, and tomato sauce.

-can also refer to a dish made with several layers of lasagne sheets alternated with sauces and various other ingredients.

I have been changing our way of eating as of late. We have always been vegie eaters with meat. We both have noticed when we eat anything made with flour, we end of feeling poorly. A change was needed. We are not saying to completely take it out but limit it to once in a while. 

Mock Lasagna is what I came up with.

Recipe:

2 medium zucchini's sliced long ways thinly(use the mandolin slicer, if you have one) 

1-15 oz Ricotta cheese

2 eggs

1-container of fresh mushrooms

1- onion, chopped

1lb of cooked ground- 2 lbs if it is chicken or turkey

1 qt of tomato sauce

Herbs for seasoning

Pepper for seasoning

Salt or Seasoning Salt(optional)

I cooked the onion and mushrooms together, drained off the juice and set to the side

I cooked the burger by itself, drained off the grease, then added tomato sauce and seasonings

In a bowl, mix ricotta and two eggs together

Layer:

Line bottom of 9x13 pan with 1/2 of meat mixture

then lay sliced zucchini over the top of meat (in place of noodles)

then 1/2 the ricotta mix

then the mushrooms(1/2 the mix)

then the zucchini over the top of mushrooms

ricotta(1/2) next

meat (1/2)next 

then bake in 375* oven, uncovered, for 45 mins or until zucchini is soft! Poke with fork to see if they are done!

Remove from oven and let sit for about 5 mins ....you might notice a bit of juice in the pan ...no worries...no soggy anything to worry about!

Enjoy!
