Who doesn’t like lasagna?! Everyone’s got a favourite recipe and it can be tweaked and changed up in umpteen variations, but ladies and gents (yes I know you gents are reading too :0D), this variation of lasagna takes the cake as a reduced calorie alternative! I loved it so much that we made this recipe TWICE within one week and there’s 6 servings per recipe.
I’m a HUGE fan of the Clean Eating Magazine and Brooke and I have tried quite a few recipes from the March/April issue and so far their have been a few winners – this one being the top gun!
So basically, it’s a very basic chicken lasagna only the noodles are replaced with zucchini sliced into 1/4 inch slices lengthwise.
The Recipe:
We found that instead of making them into one large casserole dish, the length of the zucchinis fit perfectly into these half size dishes, and it helps for storage in the fridge because if your fridge is anything like mine, you have to be creative for space! Here’s they are before going into the oven: 
I modified the recipe this time around and I added a package of frozen spinach into the cottage cheese-egg-mozza cheese mixture for an added nutritional punch:
After coming out of the oven:
And VOILA!
And like every other lasagna, it gets better and better as leftovers. Only NOT like other lasagna, it has some pretty impressive nutritional specs:
| Per 1 2/3c | (1/6 of the recipe) |
| Calories | 240 |
| Total Fat | 3.5g |
| Sat. Fat | 1.5g |
| Carbs | 19g |
| Fiber | 3g |
| Protein | 32g |
| Sodium | 530mg |
| Cholesterol | 45mg |
It’s the easiest lasagna I’ve ever made because there’s no fussing with noodles! I’ll admit that the 1/4c of shredded mozza on top looked awfully lonely, so I did add about another 1/4c, so the NI would have been affected slightly, but well worth it still. It’s absolutely delicious and I’ll definitely be making it again!

Looks and sounds great. I will certainly give it a try. I will only make 1/2 the recipe because I am the only one that likes zucchini in my house. I used it in a stir fry once and no one liked it. It was a bit bitter actually, do you have any idea why it would taste like that. I've only ever eaten it in a loaf where it wasn't bitter. (No doubt b/c of the sugar in the recipe.)
Thanks for the recipe Angie.
yummy yummy yummy!
Helping Myself: I've never had bitter zucchini! I LOVE IT. I chop it up and throw it in everything! But I suppose you have to like zucchini to like this recipe ;-)
I heart that magazine!!! I haven't tried this recipe yet, but considering I had to wipe the drool off my keyboard before commenting... I'm thinking it's deffinately made it to the top of my MUST TRY list! Thanks for Guinnea Pigging it for us!
I love zucchini lasagna! I never tried it with cottage cheese though. Usually make mine with ricotta cheese. Do you think the cottage cheese is better? does it have more protein?
Love that mag, too!
Mmmmm...looks yummy!
Will definetly be giving this sucker a try soon!
ummm...yummm is all I can say. I bought that issue of Clean Eating as well as the most recent one. I haven't tried any recipes yet, but I think I will start with that one this weekend. Thanks for the review!
I just can't do this one. I only eat vegetarian lasagna... and I hate zuchinni.

That looks wonderful. I will definitely be trying this recipe! Thanks for sharing.
That recipe looks wonderful, I will put it in my weekly menu for next week!
Sometimes if your zucchini is to large (ie. it has been left on the vine too long) it can be bitter. Most of the time I get small ones, I think they have a better flavor.
Thanks for the recipe
That looks AWESOME! I will definitely be trying it :D
Ok, so does the zucchini taste like noodles? or is it definately different (thinking for the hubby here). Might have to still make 2 different batches.
What other C.E. recipes do you love? I read the magazine but hardly make anything!
It was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good. I'm making it again for my lunches this week:)
Angie! I love your "Top Gun" reference!
I recommend when icecream craving hits,forget the overly sweet artifical tasting DQ,and try the delish gelato at Dio Mio on Brenton(right beside Spring Garden Rd)
So amazingly satisfying and worth the treat!!!
Give a review if you go!
Looks delish! I have to thank you for talking about this magazine because I went and got one for myself and LOVE it!
I personally love Clean Eating mag too. I try to pick it up whenever I can.
That recipe looks so amazing. I must make it. :-)
Thanks for reviewing.
yum yum looks good to me :)

Just googled the clean eating recipe and found your blog. I know this post is an antique, but wanted to thank you for sharing. I made a similar recipe tonight and was looking for nutritional info.
Can't wait to check out the rest of your recipes.
Just like the comment posted above I found you via google and clean eating recipes. I have pulled up this post 3 times and used it each time to make the dish, it's a hit!! Thanks. I've lost 20 pounds myself just this summer on clean eating - keep up the inspiration
I'm trying to convince my husband to let us have this for NYE dinner!
