This Zucchini Lasagna recipe is so delicious! You won’t even miss the noodles and it’s a perfect dish for hosting friends at home or simple family dinner. Your kids wont even know there is no noodles in it.

You know how easy this was to put together? Basically Meat, Cheese, and Zucchini maybe a little more cheese. Oh and tomato sauce too. Then top it off with just a little more cheese. Have I mentioned the cheese part, parmesan (stinky cheese) and chopped Basil. Overall, you can use any kind of cheese you want. Even the processed cheese is ok too.

INSTRUCTIONS:
