Super yum! True, you can tell there's no noodles, but we ate it with some toast and that satisfied the starch craving. I made some adjustments to (a) reduce the fat, (b) work with what I had on hand, (c) reduce the liquid, and (d) fit it in an 8x8-inch pan (I only cook for 2). It turned out great! So delicious that I had it for leftovers the next day, and I do not like leftovers. My adjustments: 1. Salted the zucchini and placed it in a colander at the very beginning, and also carefully drained excess liquid from the dish right after removing it from the oven. 2. Ingredients adjustment: 3 med zucchini, 1/2 lb lean ground turkey, 1/2 med onion, 1/2 red bell pepper, 1/4 cup pre-packaged shredded carrots, 1/2 jar spaghetti sauce, 2/3 cup low-fat ricotta (in place of cottage cheese), 1 egg white. I kept the amounts for the garlic, spices, and other cheeses the same, but used part-skim moz.

This was delicious! A little time consuming because of all the chopping etc, but it is worth it. I have to agree, I didn't miss the pasta, but not because it tasted like there was pasta in it---it didn't---but because all the other flavors of lasagna are in it. This is very healthy, too. I put this in a 8x12 pan and it fit perfectly. I made it exactly as written. Make sure and cut the zucchini no wider than 1/4" because some of mine were a little wider than that and they were on the verge of being not done. Try it, you'll like it!

Excellent! I did make a few changes though to fit my tastes. I used red pepper instead of green (less acidic). I doubled the cheese amounts, used trader joe's 3-cheese spaghetti sauce, and I used ricotta instead of cottage cheese. Otherwise I made it to a tee, and it turned out WONDERFULLY. I will be making this again and again.

This was great. Didn't miss the noodles. It was just a bit runny so next time i would salt the zucchini and let it sit in a colander for 30 minutes. That should draw out some of the liquid. I also used more tomato sauce than was called for and more mozz. cheese. I'm going to try it with eggplant next time!

My family and I loved it! You can tell they are not noodles of coarse. I used yellow squash and followed the recipe and it came out great! A simple way to get in those extra veggies.

Very good & we did not miss the noodles! Tried this as a low carb dish and will put this in my make it often file. I made the sauce sans meat, and used a large can of diced tomatoes and a can of tomato paste, plus a can of beef broth. Also used more veggies including some chopped mushrooms, lots of fresh garlic and celery. Also used some red pepper flake and a lot of fresh basil at the end. I let this garden sauce simmer until it was fairly thick and our casserole was not watery at all. Put the parmesan right in with the non-fat cottage cheese as well as some garlic powder. I will try putting some ground beef and maybe some turkey sausage next time. Thanks for submitting this!

Though I did enjoy the recipe, I cannot get over how so many people said they "couldn't tell it wasn't real lasagna noodles...".....I definately could, but like I said, it was enjoyable. MY only issue was it came out VERY VERY watery and also the Zucc's were not tender. Next time, I will try to slice them thinner (which should be fun - lol) and also maybe press them a bit in the attempt to get some of the water out. Besides those two issues, though, it was flavorful and I am going to try to make it again.

This was SO delicious! I loved the squash, you couldn't even taste the carrots in the sauce. The aroma when it was cooking was delightful. I will definitely make this over and over. Thank you!

I used spaghetti sauce instead of tomato sauce also, which gave it a very eggplant parmesan feel. Except the zucchini was had a much more appealing texture! I also added some extra veggies like mushrooms and baby spinach just to make it a little more interesting.

I made this for my family without telling them about the zucchini, because they never even would have tried it. Instead of tomato sauce I did use spaghetti sauce, other than that made exactly as stated. I thought it was good, but I really did miss the noodles, was soupy without the noodles to absorb the sauce, but really a great way to use up the extra zucchini from the garden. I would consider making again.

The zucchini was still undercooked after over 45 minutes in the oven, and I sliced it very thin as others suggested. The flavors were ok, and I might try this again, but I may grate the zucchini instead of slicing it.

Excellent flavor. Both my husband and very picky teenager loved the aroma and couldn't wait to taste it. The only adjustment I would make is to slice the zucchini thinner, other than that it was a great summer meal.

This was so delicious, and you really can't tell that the "noodles" are really zucchini. My husband loved it and was surprised when I told him about the zucchini.
