Cucumber Lasagna

Ingredients:

• 2 large cucumbers
• 16oz lean ground beef
• 500g 1% cottage cheese 
• 8oz sliced or shredded mozzarella cheese
• parmesan cheese
• 640 mL tomato pasta sauce

Directions:

1. Preheat oven 375 F
2. Slice cucumbers vertically to make long, thick slices
3. In a large pot, cook beef on medium heat until it just becomes brown
4. In a large casserole, put a layer of tomato sauce on the bottom
5. Put a layer of cucumbers on top of the sauce, then a layer of beef, then a layer of mozzarella cheese
6. Repeat these alternating layers until you reach the middle of the pan. Replace the mozzarella cheese with a layer of cottage cheese this time
7. Then, repeat alternating layers until you reach the top. You can have a full layer of mozzarella cheese on top, or you can leave the cucumber and beef visible like I did. Sprinkle some cubed mozzarella cheese, and some shredded parmesan to add extra texture.
8. Bake for about 40 minutes or until beef is completely cooked
