    So I just made this and I'm a bit disappointed. OP, is that your pic in the first post? If so, how in the WORLD did you get it to be that perfect?

    I don't know if I'm just missing something here, but I found it nearly impossible to slice the zucchini correctly. Trying to slice it that thin was just impossible. It kept breaking off and I ended up with awkward half-slices, some a lot thinner than others. Because of this, trying to lay it out in the pan was a bit like a puzzle. And when it was done, eating it was extremely messy and difficult. Not only because of the awkward slices, but because the ricotta cheese melted into a near-liquid state, which kind of caused the zucchini to slide everywhere when I tried to cut it to eat.

    On top of all that, the calorie count isn't even that low! I got 184 per piece (6 pieces). And I only used half of the recommended olive oil! That's actually MORE calories than the baked spaghetti I normally make, which is even bigger pieces. So, I think I'll stick to making baked spaghetti.

    Don't get me wrong, it tasted good. Just not worth the hassle to me.

    I think you would need to use a mandolin in order to get uniform, thin slices.

    Does it really taste like lasagna? Like, does the zucchini really take on a noodle-y texture?

    That looks DELICIOUS! I'm trying this over winter break!
  • It is good, I make it when our garden is producing. I peel it and slice super thin the kids dont even know they are eating zucchini.
