How to make Lasagna with zucchini and sausage
First, trim the zucchini at the ends, then grate them using a coarse grater. Sauté one clove of garlic in a pan with a drizzle of olive oil, add the zucchini and cook for 5-6 minutes; season with salt.
Add the crumbled sausage and continue cooking until the sausage is golden. After the cooking time (about 5 minutes), add the béchamel and stir.
Spread a little béchamel on the bottom of a baking dish, then lay down the first sheet, and add the prepared filling.
Make several layers, finishing the top with a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan to create a crust. Bake for 15 minutes at 374°F in a conventional oven.
Storage and variations for Lasagna with zucchini and sausage
Lasagnas can usually be prepared well in advance, as they are one of those dishes that develop more flavor as they rest. If you have leftovers, store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container. As a last resort you can also freeze them for up to 2 months, but only if you used very fresh ingredients.
