Lately I'm craving pasta and tortillas. It sucks.
I'm going to try this zucchini alternative to lasagna noodles in my next lasagna and let you know how it goes. I got it from LiveStrong today.
Heat oven to 375. Using
a mandolin, slice 8 zucchini length-wise into long strips. Place on paper
towel and sprinkle with salt. Let stand 15-20 minutes then blot
moisture.
Arrange zucchini on baking sheet and bake until slightly browned. Use in place of your normal lasagna noodles in your preferred recipe for lasagna.
I tend to do the classic-- browned hamburger meat and Italian sausage crumbles in a marinara-type sauce, with basil, oregano, mozzarella, ricotta, parmesan, and an egg. Other variations involve mushrooms, spinach, etc... but I think with the zucchini it would be sufficiently healthy and vegetable-ish I could skip the other greenery.

I haven't tried zucchini noodles (I just end up eating the zucchini, lol), but spaghetti squash is anotehr great noodle replacement.
Have you ever grated a raw cauliflower, fried it and used it instead of rice? it's delicious!
thanks for this recipe G. Hope you're excellent.
I second Liam. Cauliflower crust has been a nice substitute during my paleo attempts.
