Ingredients
Makes 4 servings
- 800 g zucchini (about 4 medium), sliced lengthways 3-4 mm thick
- 500 g extra-lean minced beef (5% fat)
- 150 g onion (1 medium), finely chopped
- 400 g tomato passata
- 250 g low-fat cottage cheese
- 1 egg (50 g)
- 100 g part-skim mozzarella, grated
- 2 tsp olive oil (8 g)
- 2 garlic cloves (10 g), crushed
- Salt, black pepper, dried oregano and basil (4 g)
Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C. Lay the zucchini slices on lined trays, salt them lightly and bake for 10 minutes so they release their water; pat dry.
- Heat the olive oil in a wide pan and soften the onion for 4 minutes. Add the garlic and the beef and cook, breaking it up, until no pink remains.
- Stir in the passata and the herbs, season and simmer for 10 minutes until thick.
- Mix the cottage cheese with the egg and a pinch of pepper.
- In a 20×25 cm dish, layer zucchini, meat sauce and cottage cream; repeat twice and finish with zucchini and the mozzarella.
- Bake at 190°C for 25 minutes, until bubbling and golden. Rest for 10 minutes before cutting so the layers hold.
