The instruction how to make Skillet Zucchini Noodle Lasagna
- Preheat the oven to 350u00b0F.
- Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Use a mandolin or a sharp knife to slice the zucchini lengthwise into 1/8-inch ribbons. Arrange the zucchini ribbons in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Sprinkle the zucchini ribbons liberally with salt, and allow to sit for 10-15 minutes for the salt to draw out excess moisture.
- Pat the zucchini with paper towels until it is very dry.
- Bake the zucchini ribbons on middle rack of oven until they look dry and slightly golden at the edges, 25-30 minutes.
- Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow to sit until the zucchini is cool enough to handle. While the zucchini bakes, prepare the meat sauce.
- Spray a 9-inch cast-iron skillet spray with nonstick cooking spray and then place over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to the skillet. Cook the beef, breaking it up with a spatula, until thoroughly browned, 5-6 minutes.
- Drain the fat from the skillet. Return the skillet to the stove and turn heat to medium-low. Pour the marinara sauce over the meat and stir to combine. Simmer for 2-3 minutes. While the sauce simmers, prepare the cheese mixture.
- Place the ricotta, Parmesan, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning in a large mixing bowl. Stir with a rubber spatula to thoroughly combine.
- Remove the skillet from the heat, and transfer most of the meat sauce to a separate bowl, leaving a scant 1/2 cup in the skillet. Place a single layer of zucchini noodles over the sauce. Drop about 1/3 of the ricotta mixture by spoonfuls over the noodles, and gently spread it into an even layer. Spoon 1/4 of the remaining meat sauce over the ricotta. Repeat the layering process two more times, ending with a final layer of zucchini ribbons, followed by the last 1/4 of the meat sauce. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella in an even layer over the top of the lasagna.
- Bake the lasagna on middle rack of oven until cheese on top is golden brown and skillet is bubbling at the edges, 30-45 minutes.
- Check to see that the skillet lasagna is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
- Allow the lasagna to rest for at least 20 minutes before serving.
