Delish. Added sparingly smoked sausage and ham for added flavour. Definitely a regular lunch. 👍

We made this last night & really enjoyed it. While we were eating, thought it would help our protein, fat count & flavour if we would have added some crumbled Italian sausage. Will definitely make this layered dish again!👍

I REALLY enjoyed this dish. For me, the servings are very large (maybe not so much for others). I paired this rotisserie chicken, and it was the perfect meal. I haven’t had Italian food in so long, and this was perfect!!

I don't understand how the amount of zucchini called for gives you enough strips/ribbons for multiple layers. I used a mandoline to slice, maybe mine are a little too thick but I definitely will need 3 times the amount of zucchini called for here.

Use a potato peeler to make ribbons.

Taste like lasagna! I was out of cheddar so used pepper jack and added G Huges bar-bQue sauce sugar free to tomatoes for spicy flavor. Awesome
