Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
  2. 2 Slice the zucchinis lengthwise into thin slices. Sprinkle with a little salt and let sit for a while. The salt helps to draw excess water out of the zucchini.
  3. 3 Meanwhile, finely chop the onion and garlic.
  4. 4 Heat a dash of olive oil in a frying pan and sauté the onion and garlic until translucent.
  5. 5 Add the minced meat and cook until browned. Add the Italian herbs and paprika powder and cook for a few more minutes.
  6. 6 Add the sieved tomatoes to the meat mixture and let it simmer for another 10 minutes.
  7. 7 Pat the zucchini slices dry with kitchen paper. Grease an oven dish and place a layer of zucchini slices in it. Cover with a layer of the meat mixture and sprinkle some grated mozzarella on top. Repeat these steps until all ingredients are used up, but finish with a layer of mozzarella.
  8. 8 Place the oven dish in the preheated oven and let the lasagna become golden brown and bubbly in 30 minutes.
  9. 9 Let the lasagna cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your meal!
