baked Summer Squash Lasagne I had a big summer squash, leftover turkey breast, and leftover cheese. I decided to try putting them together lasagne style, and was pleased with the results. The squash replaces the noodles, so it is low in carbs. You can vary the cheeses, meats, and seasonings. I had basil and kale, so I added them in as well. If I had have ricotta or cottage cheese I would have used that, too.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 35 minutes

Total Time: 50 minutes

Yield: 4 servings

Source: Self

Ingredients:

1 zucchini or yellow squash
leftover meat (I used turkey breast)
any other vegetables you wish to add
shredded cheeses of your choice(I used cheddar, mozzarella and Parmesan)
salt, pepper, garlic powder and Italian seasoning to taste
1 jar of pasta sauce

Steps:

Cut the squash the long way to resemble lasagne noodles.

Coat the bottom of an 8 x 8 in. pan with pasta sauce.

Place a layer of noodles on the bottom. Cut to fit if necessary.

Add other vegetables if using. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder and Italian seasoning to taste.

Add a layer of meat.

Repeat with a second layer.
Finish with a layer of pasta sauce on top.

Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.

Bake in 350 F oven until done; about 35 minutes.

That looks delicious Judy. :)

I like how you've sliced the summer squash to use it in layers.

Yummm.

Judy,

I have never thought about layering like this with veggies, and I really love your dish here, it looks so beautifully colorful, and full of flavor, and with the cheese and everything, I can't wait to make it.

Thank you so much:)
