Preparation

• Prepare the zucchini lasagna: Clean and peel the zucchinis. With a peeler or a mandolin, cut some vertical slices and place them on a paper towel.
• Sprinkle with coarse salt and let the slices drain for 10 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels. Flip the slices and repeat the process. Make sure to dry them well and remove the excess salt.
  
• Prepare the filling: Clean and drain the spinach. In a skillet, sauté a crushed garlic clove in olive oil, then add the spinach and sauté.
• In a bowl, mix the ricotta with the mascarpone, parmesan, and pepper. Incorporate the spinach once it has wilted.
  
• Assemble: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Pour some tomato sauce into the bottom of the gratin dish. Add a layer of zucchini slices, then a layer of spinach filling. Repeat the process.
• Cover with a layer of zucchini and tomato sauce. Sprinkle with grated mozzarella. Bake for 25 minutes at 350°F (180°C).
  
• And there you have it, your zucchini lasagna with spinach and Italian cheeses is ready!

Observations

You can use frozen or canned spinach (already cooked). Just mix them with the ricotta, mascarpone, and parmesan preparation.
