This is a low carb Lasagna with no pasta. The general method can be used with any sauce or filling. For instance use ground turkey to reduce calories or a premade pasta sauce to save time.

Steps

1

Chop onions, tomatoes, basil, and garlic to desired size. I'm pretty rough with this and call it rustic.
2

Cut squash in rounds with mandolin.
3

Brown Meat in a little olive oil. I like to do this in a cast iron pan. Drain and set aside.
4

Carmelize onions in olive oil and/or meat drippings. I'll usually just toss them in the same cast iron. Then add fresh basil, garlic, and tomatoes. A few minutes later add tomato paste and seasoning.
5

Add in meat and mix together. Remove from heat.
6

Create bottom layer of squash in a casserole pan.
7

Add sauce to casserole pan.
8

Add layer of ricotta cheese to casserole pan.
9

Add top layer of squash in casserole pan.
10

Slice rough rounds of mozzarella for top of casserole pan.
11

Bake in oven for 30-45 mins on 350 until cheese is melted to your preference.

Serve!
