I always try to make recipes that are healthy, DELICIOUS, fun and easy! We all have a favorite pasta or lasagna dish that we love to eat, but we may feel a little guilty and bloated after eating it. I am so happy to share one of my favorite family dishes with you that you can enjoy and feel guilt and bloat free!

This is a wonderful meal for the entire family to enjoy for dinner, and it’s a fantastic dish to serve around the holidays! When I make this dish, my husband and I always end up eating the leftovers for lunch the next day! My Happy Tummy Lasagna is packed full of health benefits, and you can eat this and really feel great afterwards! What I love the most about this dish is that my girls love helping me make it, and we have truly turned this into a staple in our home that I know my girls will one day share with their children. Making memories in the kitchen with my girls has become one of my favorite things to do, and I hope that you will try this with your loved ones too! 🙂

Prep and have ready

1. 9x11 glass baking dish
2. 6 zucchinis, thinly sliced the long way with a mandolin slicer

Prepare for Step 1

1. 4 garlic cloves, minced
2. 2 tbsp. EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
3. 1 onion, diced

Have Ready for Step 2

1. 2 lbs of Grass Fed Beef. I use T and D Farms Beef.

Have these items ready for step 3

1. 2 cups of diced roma tomatoes
2. 1 (6 ounce) can of organic tomato paste
3. 2 tbsp. dried oregano
4. 1/2 cup of fresh basil, chopped
5. 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
6. 1/2 teaspoon of Pink Himalayan salt
7. 1/2 tbsp. black pepper

Instructions

1. ** Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Step 1: In a large pot, sauté the onions and garlic in the extra-virgin olive oil for 3 minutes.
3. Step 2: Add the ground beef and brown.
4. Step 3: Add the diced roma tomatoes, tomato paste and the dry ingredients and mix well.
5. Step 4: Start layering your glass dish with your first zucchini layer. You can overlap the zucchini slices - a helper is always useful!
6. Step 5: Layer some of the meat over the zucchini layer.
7. Continue to layer meat and zucchini slices ending with the meat as the top and final layer. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
8. Step 6: Remove from the oven and add your cheese of choice (optional). I prefer goat cheese to top it off. Let the lasagna stand for 10 minutes.
9. Serve and Enjoy!!
