Ingredients

• 3 medium zucchini
• 16 oz cheese ravioli
• 24 oz marinara sauce
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 unit large egg
• 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 bottle olive oil spray
• 3 leaves fresh basil (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Using a mandoline or sharp knife, thinly slice the zucchini lengthwise into ribbons, about 1/8-inch thick. Lay them out on a clean kitchen towel and sprinkle lightly with salt to draw out moisture. Let them sit for 10 minutes, then pat dry with another towel.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and set aside.

Step 4

Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil spray.

Step 5

Spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce evenly on the bottom of the baking dish.

Step 6

Lay a single layer of zucchini slices across the sauce, slightly overlapping the edges.

Step 7

Top the zucchini layer with half of the cheese mixture and spread it evenly.

Step 8

Place half of the cheese ravioli in a single layer over the ricotta mixture.

Step 9

Pour 1 cup of marinara sauce over the ravioli and spread it out evenly.

Step 10

Repeat the layers: another layer of zucchini slices, the remaining cheese mixture, the rest of the ravioli, and another cup of marinara sauce.

Step 11

Finish with a final layer of zucchini and the remaining marinara sauce. Top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella.

Step 12

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.

Step 13

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Step 14

Allow the lasagna to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 15

Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, and enjoy!
