Italian-Style Zucchini Lasagna Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Italian-Style Zucchini Lasagna Recipe). When I was a child, my mother made a 'poor man's lasagna' using ground beef, cottage cheese, mozzarella, and pasta. I took her same recipe but made it low-carb, taking out the pasta and adding in lots of fresh veggies. I prefer the texture of the zucchini rather than slices which you see in other recipes.
