Summer Squash Lasagna

written up by a member!

  • 3-4 summer squash 

  • 1 1/2 cups of cottage cheese 

  • 1 handful of basil 

  • 3 cloves of garlic 

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 jar of tomato sauce of your choice 

  • 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese 

  • 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese 

PREPARATION

Cover the bottom of a 9 x13 inch pan with a thin layer of sauce. Slice the summer squash about 1/8 inch thick the long way. Arrange on top of the sauce like you would with lasagna noodles until the sauce it completely covered. Mix the cottage cheese with two eggs, and a handful of finely chopped basil. Add a layer on top of the squash and repeat alternating layers until you’ve used all of your mixture and squash. Top with 1/2 cup mozzarella and 1/2 parmesan. Back at 375 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
