Ingredients

• Zucchini - 2 medium, sliced thinly
• Ground beef - 300 grams
• Onion - 1 medium, diced
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced

• Mozzarella cheese - 150 grams, shredded
• Parmesan cheese - 50 grams, grated
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Italian seasoning - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent.
3. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Stir in the tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.
