Skillet Zucchini Lasagna

Print Recipe

This skillet zucchini lasagna is a lighter twist on the Italian classic — rich in flavor, low in carbs, and all made in one pan. Layers of tender zucchini, savory turkey sausage, spinach, and melty cheese make it the ultimate healthy comfort food without sacrificing a bit of taste.

Ingredients

Scale

5–6 medium zucchini (about 26–27 oz), sliced thin

1 lb lean Italian turkey sausage (casings removed)

¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes

4 garlic cloves, minced

2 cups Skinnyish Dish marinara (or your favorite low-sugar sauce)

¾ cup low-fat cottage cheese

1 cup part-skim shredded mozzarella

2 cups fresh spinach, torn

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Prep Zucchini: Slice zucchini thin (lengthwise or into rounds) and lightly salt to draw out moisture. Let sit for 10 mins, then pat dry.

Cook Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown turkey sausage with garlic and red pepper flakes until fully cooked.

Add Marinara: Stir in marinara sauce and spinach. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until spinach wilts.

Layer Lasagna: Push sausage mix to the sides. Layer zucchini slices, dollops of cottage cheese, and sprinkle mozzarella on top.

Cover & Cook: Cover skillet and cook over low heat for 10–12 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve: Let rest for a few minutes, then serve warm.
