Summer Vegetable Lasagna

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Summer Vegetable Lasagna.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and lightly greasing a medium-sized baking dish to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.

2. Step 2

   In a large skillet, heat things up over medium heat and add the ground beef.

3. Step 3

   Cook it for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally until it’s beautifully browned and crumbly.

4. Step 4

   Don’t forget to drain any excess grease to keep your dish light and tasty.

5. Step 5

   Next, it’s time to add a burst of flavor! Toss in the tomato sauce, chopped onion, diced bell pepper, shredded carrots, minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.

6. Step 6

   Bring this vibrant mixture to a gentle boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and the flavors to meld together.

7. Step 7

   While that’s happening, grab a small bowl and mix together the cottage cheese and beaten egg until they’re perfectly combined.

8. Step 8

   Now, let’s build our layers! Start by placing half of the zucchini strips at the bottom of your prepared baking dish.

9. Step 9

   Spread the creamy cottage cheese mixture over the zucchini, followed by half of the savory beef mixture and a generous sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.

10. Step 10

    Repeat this layering process with the remaining zucchini, beef, and mozzarella, creating a beautiful, hearty dish.

11. Step 11

    To finish it off, sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top for that extra touch of flavor.

12. Step 12

    Pop your lasagna into the preheated oven and let it bake for about 45 minutes, filling your kitchen with mouthwatering aromas.

13. Step 13

    Once it’s done, resist the urge to dive in right away! Allow the lasagna to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

14. Step 14

    This little pause will help the layers set beautifully, making each slice a perfect delight.
