Lasagna made with Zucchini
Some insight
I love to cook! I won´t lie :)
When I am in the kitchen with some music on, I let my imagination run free while cooking, I have been able to create dishes just by looking at pictures.
I did this lasagna because I love zucchinis and I think they are very healthy. Some people who don’t like them have tried the lasagna and don’t even now it has no pasta :)
So I wanted to share my successful story with you guys.
Remember have fun and always add the secret ingredient (lost of love) and you won´t go wrong! ;)
