ZUCCHINI LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

• Meanwhile, trim the ends of the zucchini. Using a knife, carefully slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips, about 1/16 inch thick. If the zucchini looks watery, lay the slices on paper towels to absorb excess moisture before using.

Spoon a layer of marinara on top and cover with half of the zucchini strips, carefully overlapping the edges.

Repeat the process above, layering the mushrooms and spinach, marinara, the remaining zucchini strips, cottage cheese, and mozzarella into the dish.
