A delicious Paleo-friendly and gluten-free alternative to traditional lasagna, this Pizza Squash Noodle Lasagna Bake uses spiralized zucchini noodles as a low-carb and nutritious substitute for pasta. Packed with flavorful ground beef, marinara sauce, and veggies, it's a satisfying and healthy comfort food option.
Ingredients: 2 large zucchinis, spiralized into noodles. 1 pound ground beef. 1 cup Paleo-friendly marinara sauce. 1 cup sliced black olives. 1 cup sliced mushrooms. 1 cup diced bell peppers. 1 cup diced onions. 1 cup grated Paleo-friendly cheese e.g., dairy-free almond cheese. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 1 teaspoon dried oregano. 1 teaspoon dried basil. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions: Set the oven temperature to 375F 190C. Heat the olive oil in a big skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up as it cooks, until it is browned. To the skillet, add the chopped onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Cook until they are soft. Add the garlic powder, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper and stir. Simmer for five minutes. Arrange half of the zucchini noodles in the bottom of a different baking dish. On top of the zucchini noodles, distribute half of the meat and vegetable mixture. Top with half of the chopped olives and grated Paleo-approved cheese. With the remaining meat mixture, cheese, olives, and zucchini noodles, repeat the layering process. Bake the baking dish for 25 to 30 minutes while covered with foil. After ten more minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown, remove the foil and continue baking. Before serving, allow it to cool for a few minutes. Enjoy your Paleo Pizza Squash Noodle Lasagna Bake after slicing and serving!
