Zucchini Lasagna - review (I remembered to add it in the subject line!)

[Guest guest]

I made this the other night & it was ok. Next time I will drain the

zucchini (actually I'll put it in a tea towel & squeeze the cukkies out

of it). It needs a good deal more seasoning but goes together quick &

is yummy. my picky eater had 2nds! My not picky eater reiterated that

she doesn't like ricotta. I'm guesing she really means it because she's

quite consistent & I'd told her it was cottage cheese which she loves.

??? For the marinara, I doctored up a can of crushed tomatoes. I also

used the oven ready noodles. And I doubled the whole thing & even with

the little one uninterested, there wasn't much left at all. []

 

Thanks! Bethie
