Zucchini Lasagna

4 servings

50 minutes

Zucchini lasagna is a light and original take on the classic Italian dish. Instead of traditional pasta sheets, thin strips of tender zucchini are used, perfectly paired with a fragrant tomato-pepper sauce. Tender chicken breast adds heartiness to the dish, while spices reveal depth of flavor. The finishing touch is a layer of melted cheese that forms an appetizing golden crust. This dish is perfect for those who want to enjoy the flavors of Italy but prefer lighter and healthier options. Zucchini lasagna is great for a cozy family dinner or a festive feast. With its delicate taste and appetizing appearance, it will surely become a favorite on your table.
