Low Carb Lasagna (12 large servings)
By Kathryn
4 medium zucchini, sliced very thin on mandolin
3/4 cup basil almond pesto, homemade (to marinade the
zucchini slices)
....lightly spread a spoonful of pesto on each slice, turn
over and spread more on the back side... grill the marinated zucchini slices
until nice grill marks are on both sides, this dries out the zucchini a bit to
help the lasagna not be too wet... I used my George Forman Grill...it took
several times to fill it ....
