This hearty Sausage and Sweet Potato Zucchini Lasagna is a flavorful twist on the classic Italian dish. Layers of zucchini, sweet potatoes, and ground pork are married with ancho chili powder and cumin, then baked to perfection with a generous sprinkling of Mozzarella or Provolone cheese.

Notes
To customize this, you can use any kind of ground meat (pork, turkey, beef, etc) and any kind of cheese. I like Mozzarella and Provolone because they melt nicely.
For a more traditional lasagna (and one that holds together a little easier) you can also use cooked whole wheat lasagna noodles in place of or in addition to the zucchini. If you do this, you’ll need to add a little more chicken broth to the sweet potato sauce to help the lasagna stay moist. The noodles soak up excess liquid whereas the zucchini noodles *add* liquid. I’ve made it both ways with delicious results – just a different texture and slice-ability.
