¼ cup fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped⁠

Istruzioni

In a deep skillet over medium-high heat, add ground beef, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon until beef is no longer pink. Remove beef from skillet to a plate lined with a paper towel.⁠

Wipe out the same skillet with a paper towel and add a little olive oil. Once hot, add the zucchini, mushrooms, onion, garlic, and a dash of salt and pepper. Sauté until onions are translucent and zucchini is tender; 7-9 minutes.

Stir in the spinach and basil; sauté for another 2 minutes.

Stir in the marinara sauce, balsamic vinegar, cooked ground beef, and 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese.

Next, dollop the cottage cheese evenly over top. Let cook on a low simmer, uncovered, for about 10 minutes.

Top with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and the Parmesan; cover skillet and continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Alternatively, you can place the skillet under the oven broiler until the cheese is melted and slightly browned; about 2 minutes.

Remove skillet from heat and let set for about 10 minutes, uncovered, before serving.

Garnish with basil, additional Parmesan, and crushed red pepper flakes, if desired. Serve with a slotted spoon.
