Have had this twice so far and is awesome. Added extra garlic and fresh basil to the sauce and mozzarella on top. Good way to get extra veggies in. Even picky husband had 2 helpings.i also added the herbed tomato sauce between each zucchini layer. Thanks so much for sharing..0

And you griping about the people who gripe is....???0 -
eh whatever its called I don't really care but I am keen to try it
I was wondering, would ground chicken work instead of turkey - can't get ground turkey easily here ( New Zealand)
Do you use a special tomato sauce or will tinned tomatoes do?
it sounds interesting !0 -
Chicken would be fine. Season it up with garlic, basil, and oregano to give it some Italian flair.
Canned tomatoes are fine... I won't judge.0 -
Sounds lush, I will definitely be trying this receipe. I love corguettes.0

I have used the zucchini as spaghetti noodles before. They are good! Just lightly sautée them with olive oil n whatever seasoning you want. I used garlic and Italian .0

Bump...sounds very interesting...I want to try it,0

I've made something very similar and it's really good. Eggplant is good, also.0
-
I don't care what you call it.. I have made this several times for my family over the past year and they LOVE it. I also make what I call Zuccghetti and another dish I call Fettucini Al Frednot. These are wonderful alternatives to their higher fat and calorie counterparts.0
-
Maybe the OP should have called it Lasachini lol. that is what my family calls it.0
-
Hmm, lasagna it is not. But, I don't like pasta (I know, I know, blasphemy), so I might give this a go (umm, but there will be cheese on top of mine, and italian saugage inside). A sort of zucchini parmesan meets lasagne-free lasagna.0

I make a similar dish but it has more cheese and no meat (you don't miss it). I also do not peel the zucchini. one sixth of the recipe is 297 calories ..that's 1/6th of a 9X13 pan...pretty good portion. Just like REAL lasagna you can play with it and adjust it to your liking. It is really good

Mmm this sounds delicious! I make something similar with polenta: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/122512052338073915/
I really want to try a version with meat though!0 -
This is not lasagna......
OH NO!! It's an impasta!!0 -
If you want a lower calorie pasta check out Fiber Gourmet brand. It's about half the calories of regular pasta.0

BUMP!BUMP! this sounds really delicious0

Alrighty... I have to defend the title. I should have said "lasagna alternative" I freely admit, but let's not nitpick and just see it for what it is... An attempt to provide a healthy alternative to a favorite and delicious dish.
And Italians will not weep. Zucchini is an integral ingredient in Italian cooking. The lack of pasta in a layered dish is not a big deal for Italians.
Other answers:
I do t recall where I originally got the recipe
I use a 4x8 bread pan or 8x12 casserole pan with more layers on the bread pan
4 oz of cheese and turkey each per zucchini is more than sufficient.
I'm curious to find out why you think lasagne is "not healthy"0 -

The post to which you replied does not say lasagne is "not healthy", it says the alternative is healthy.0 -

I make mine this way because pasta bothers my stomach. I make a pan of ground turkey with half a can of tomato sauce, a can of diced tomatoes, celery, garlic, mushrooms and Italian spices and let that simmer for a bit. Then I do a layer of zuchini, one layer of light ricotta mixed with a egg, more zuchini, half the sauce, zuchini and the rest of the sauce. I top it with motzerella and Parmesan. It's delicious!0

I hate zucchini, but I've often made lasagna with eggplant instead of noodles. I have a veggie slicer that makes nice, uniform slices. You do want to salt and drain the eggplant so it's not bitter, and then just layer with the meat and cheese like normal. I think the flavor melds much better than the zucchini does.0
