Instructions

Roast zucchini
1

Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce. Cut zucchini into 1/4-inch rounds. Add zucchini, half the Italian Seasoning, half the garlic salt and 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) to an unlined baking sheet. Season with pepper, then toss to coat. Roast in the middle of the oven until tender-crisp, 8-10 min. (NOTE: Zucchini will continue to cook in step 5.) Transfer roasted zucchini to a paper towel-lined plate.

Cook beef
2

Meanwhile, heat a medium oven-proof pan over medium-high heat (large oven-proof pan for 4 ppl). When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then beef. Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** Carefully drain and discard excess fat. Add remaining Italian Seasoning. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min.

Chop spinach
3

Meanwhile, roughly chop spinach.

Make sauce
4

Reduce heat to medium, then add crushed tomatoes and remaining garlic salt to the pan with beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly, 6-8 min. Add spinach. Stir until wilted, 1-2 min. Season with pepper, to taste. Remove the pan from heat, then transfer sauce to a large bowl.

Assemble and bake
5

Pat roasted zucchini slices dry with paper towels. Spread a third of the sauce across the bottom of the same oven-proof pan. Sprinkle a third of the cheese over sauce, then top with half the zucchini. Repeat layers, ending with cheese. Bake in the middle of the oven until cheese melts and skillet is warmed through, 6-8 min.

Finish and serve
6

Let beef and zucchini skillet stand for at least 5 min before serving. Divide skillet between plates. Tear parsley over top.
