Instructions
1Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
2Slice 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.
3Meanwhile, finely chop the onion and garlic.
4Heat a dash of olive oil in a frying pan and sauté the onion and garlic until translucent.
5Add the minced meat and cook until browned. Add the Italian herbs and paprika powder and cook for a few more minutes.
6Add the sieved tomatoes to the meat mixture and let it simmer for another 10 minutes.
7Pat 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.
8Place the oven dish in the preheated oven and let the lasagna become golden brown and bubbly in 30 minutes.
9Let the lasagna cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your meal!
