How to Make Zucchini Lasagna Noodles

Instead of traditional flour lasagna pasta sheets, slice zucchini horizontally with a mandolin or sharp knife.  A potato peeler will make the slices too thin. Slice each zucchini about ¼” thick.

The zucchini noodles should cook for 10-15 minutes in the oven to soften before you use them. Carefully remove the strips from the oven and lay them on a paper towel to soak up any water left in them before you layer the zucchini lasagna!
