The ingredients for Lasagna - No-Noodle are:

1 lb extra lean ground beef or turkey
1 can petite diced tomatoes
1 small can tomato paste
salt, garlic powder, oregano and basil to taste
1 large egg
16 oz ricotta cheese (I used full fat)
2 medium summer squash or zucchini
4 oz shredded carrot
8 oz frozen spinach
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese or italian cheese blend (I used parmesan, asiago and romano)

Here is how you make Lasagna - No-Noodle:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a deep 9x13 inch baking pan with Pam or other non stick spray. The pan I use also has a non stick coating.Slice zucchini lengthwise into very thin slices. I used a mandolin. Sprinkle slices lightly with salt; set aside to drain in a colander. Par cook carrots and defrosted spinach together in microwave oven for 3 minutes on 80% power then drain well, squeezing out excess water. Par cook salted zucchini slices the same way.To prepare the meat sauce, cook and stir ground beef and spices in a large skillet over medium high heat for 5 minutes. Stir in canned tomatoes and tomato paste, adding a small amount of hot water if sauce is too thick. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer sauce for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.Meanwhile, stir well beaten egg and ricotta together in a bowl until well combined.To assemble lasagna, spread 1/2 of the meat sauce into the bottom of prepared pan. Then layer 1/2 the zucchini slices, 1/2 the ricotta mixture, all of the spinach and carrots, then 1/2 the mozzarella cheese. Repeat by layering the remaining meat sauce, zucchini slices, ricotta mixture, and mozzarella. Spread Parmesan cheese evenly over the top; cover with foil.Bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil; raise oven temperature to 350 degrees F , and bake an additional 15 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.Serving Size:?makes 8 large servings
