Ingredients

1 large zucchini , peeled and thinly sliced lengthwise into about 25 noodles (see video)
1 pound ground beef , cooked and drained
2 cups low carb marinara sauce
10 ounces chopped frozen spinach , thawed and drained
8 ounces ricotta cheese
3 cloves garlic , minced
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
Large pinch of salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 baking dish with oil.
With a vegetable peeler slice zucchini vertically in order to achieve thin, flat noodles resembling lasagna noodles.
Place noodles on a paper towel, sprinkle with salt and set aside for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine spinach, ricotta cheese, garlic, egg, 1/4 cup parmesan cheese and black pepper.
Blot off noodles to remove any excess moisture. (The less moisture remaining in the noodles the better so do not skip this step)
Make 1 layer of zucchini noodles at bottom of baking dish. Cover with 1/2 cup of sauce. Add another layer of noodles, spread ricotta mixture, sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella cheese. Add another layer of noodles, add layer of ground beef with 1 cup of sauce, more mozzarella cheese. Add another layer of zucchini noodles and continue until noodles and all ingredients are used up. Add the end cover with remaining noodles, remaining 1/2 cup of sauce, and remaining mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup parmesan cheese.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 28-30 minutes, remove aluminum foil and bake for an additional 12 minutes, or until top is bubbly and golden brown.
