-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
-
Slice zucchini 1/8" thick and pat each slice dry with a paper towel. Lightly salt each slice on both sides.
-
Grill zucchini slices on medium heat for 1-2 minutes each side so that the moisture cooks out. Place on paper towels and pat each slice dry.
-
Meanwhile, make the sauce by melting the butter and cooking the garlic until fragrant. Whisk in flour. Slowly add the milk, whisking until smooth. (If sauce looks thin, add more flour 1 tablespoon at a time.)
-
Once the sauce has thickened, pour half on the bottom of a large baking pan. Layer zucchini slices on top.
-
Combine the ricotta, 1 cup of the mozzarella, egg, parmesan, salt, pepper, and seasoning. Mix well.
-
Spread half of the ricotta mixture on the bottom layer of zucchini slices. Top with more zucchini slices, followed by the remaining ricotta mixture. Add the last layer of zucchini.
-
Pour remaining sauce on top of the final zucchini layer. Top with remaining mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with additional parmesan if desired.
-
Bake uncovered at 375 degrees until bubbling and the top is lightly browned, about 50 minutes.
