When I started eating Paleo years ago, I found a Zucchini Lasagna Recipe from Primal Palate. Would my family really like it? Is it possible to have lasagna without the actual noodles? Guess what? They ate it and loved it. It is tasty, healthy and you’ll feel so much better serving it to your family. You don’t need noodles every time you make “lasagna.”

I’ve altered the recipe a bit but it’s still way way way healthier than standard lasagna. For all you saying in your mind, ‘My family will not touch that’ or ‘My husband would rather die than eat vegetable substituted lasagna,’ I hear you. I get it. My man doesn’t consider anything a meal without meat. This recipe does have meat, but you could easily remove it. BUT try it. Just once. See if your family likes it. And then never look back.

To make this healthy recipe, you’ll need:

This Zucchini Lasagna recipe is easy and a fresh take on an old classic. This recipe has a lot of flavor and you don’t even miss the regular filling and noodles that accompany traditional lasagna. At least we don’t. I’ve tried variations with different vegetables and been pleased every time. Here’s what you need:

cooking pan
9×13 baking pan
mixing spoons
ground beef
green bell peppers
onion
zucchini
mushrooms
marinara sauce
fresh, shredded parmesan cheese
shredded mozzarella cheese
garlic

Here are some tips on how to make the best zucchini lasagna

In this recipe I use marinara sauce to make it simpler. Lots of marinara sauces have junk in them so make sure that the one you buy does not. I found Rao’s at Target the other day (YAY!!!) – it’s much more expensive than any other sauce out there but it’s straight up good and healthy. Trader Joe’s has a great version too.
I added cheese to this recipe. I only used a cup but you can add more if you want a cheesier version. If you are dairy free, or eating Paleo, omit it. It’ll still taste great.
Zucchini and mushrooms release water while baking. The sauce should be thick when you layer to account for that. Other Healthy Dinner Recipes:
