Another delicious dinner tonight! This one is low carb and high protein. A definite repeat!
INGREDIENTS
1 lbs ground organic beef (you could also use turkey or 2c shredded chicken)
1/2 chopped medium onion
3 cups spaghetti sauce (I used my homemade recipe Marina Sauce)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp basil
1/4 tsp black pepper
4 large zucchini sliced length wise
2 cup cottage cheese
2 eggs
4 tbsp almond flour (or coconut or whole wheat flour)
1.5 cups shredded mozzarella
DIRECTIONS
Bring a pot of water to boil. Salt water and add zucchini slices (these are your 'noodles') and boil for 3 mins. Drain, then lay zucchini on paper towels to cool and absorb extra moisture.
Cook ground beef and onions over medium heat until done. Drain grease. Add marina sauce and seasonings. Bring to boil, then reduce heat to simmer uncovered for about 5 mins to allow the seasonings to flavor the sauce.
In a small bowl, mix the cottage cheese with the beaten eggs.
Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray, lay half of the zucchini, and sprinkle with 2 Tbsp of flour. Top with some of the cottage cheese mixture and half of the meat sauce. Repeat the layer of zucchini, flour, cottage cheese & meat sauce. Top with mozzarella cheese.
Bake at 375 for 40 mins or until heated through and the cheese is nice and bubbly.
