Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish.
- Cook and stir ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Add tomato sauce, onion, bell pepper, carrots, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Mix cottage cheese and egg together in a small bowl until well combined.
- Layer 1/2 of the zucchini strips in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, then spread cottage cheese mixture over top. Layer with 1/2 of the beef mixture, then 1/2 of the mozzarella. Layer with remaining zucchini, beef mixture, and mozzarella. Top with Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Allow to sit for 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
