Zucchini Ribbon Lasagna

I love zucchini with tomato sauce, it’s such a great flavor combo. One of my favorite ways to have them together is in lasagna. The first time I had zucchini in lasagna was when I was in college. I was part of a student leadership program and once a month we attended a meeting that also included dinner. It was great because our dining hall was terrible and the food at the meetings was always pretty good – obviously my school had a bigger food budget for special programs. I got the veggie lasagna every time, it was so good. Fun fact: my dining hall was called Hurley Hall. No joke!

The version I had all those years ago was heavier on the cheese and had more noodles. This version is much healthier but still so full of flavor.

This zucchini ribbon lasagna has some ingredients that you wouldn’t necessarily associate with lasagna, but this is more of a Greek-style lasagna if that’s a thing. I say Greek-style because it’s got several flavors that I’d associate with greek food like feta and cinnamon. Zucchini, tomatoes, lemons and spinach are also commonly used in greek cooking. But it’s the tomato/cinnamon combination with the lemon, spinach and feta that make it Greek to me.

If you’re worried about putting cinnamon in your tomato sauce, don’t worry! It doesn’t scream cinnamon, it adds a different depth of flavor that’s fantastic – it really is delicious. If you’ve ever had  Greek Pastitsio, you’ll know what I’m talking about. So. Good.

The same goes for the lemon – there’s just a bit of lemon zest to add to the flavor profile without adding a lemon taste. You won’t even know it’s in there but if you leave it out, you’d be sacrificing flavor.

But, the real secret ingredient in this amazing lasagna? AllWhites Egg Whites. AllWhites Egg Whites are 100% liquid egg white, no yolk.

Although I love Lasagna, I would use the egg whites to make scrambled egg whites and grits or a veggie omlett
