Step 1

Add coconut oil to a medium high heat pan and cook the ground beef. Add the tomato sauce to the ground beef and combine. Set aside.

Step 2

Using a mandolin slicer, slice the zucchini into as many thin slices as possible and set aside.

Step 3

Add the ricotta, Parmesan, garlic cloves, salt, pepper, and egg to a processor and blend until fully combined.

Step 4

In an oven safe skillet or casserole dish, make the first layer of ground beef.

Step 5

Next top with two layers of the zucchini criss crossing each other.

Step 6

Add a generous layer of the ricotta mixture.

Step 7

Sprinkle on some of the shredded mozzarella.

Step 8

Repeat this a second time (we made two full layers in our 6 inch skillet). The last layer should be mozzarella cheese on top.

Step 9

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or until cheese is browned.
