Tips

You can also add more veggies to this, and maybe some red pepper flakes and Italian seasoning for more flavor. I only salted the meat a bit and let everyone salt when they were served as I tend to not eat much salt.

-saute the garlic and onions untill soft and translucent
-Add the ground beef and cook untill brown

-Simmer 15 minutes
-Boil noodles for 3 minutes
-Use a mandolin or cut thin 2 large Zucchini
-Layer a thin layer of sauce then the first layer of noodles (this depends on your pan size I used 3 lenghwise and 1 widthwise at the bottom of the pan)
-Layer another layer of sauce then 1/4 of the mozzarella
-layer one layer of zucchini slices then another layer of sauce and another 1/4 of the cheese.
-same for the next layer then the top layer is noodles then sauce then the last of the cheese
