Zucchini casserole a la lasagna: how to quickly prepare a hearty dinner

Traditional lasagna is made with potatoes. But in summer, when there is a wide variety of vegetables, you can use another ingredient. Namely, zucchini. It bakes quickly enough, goes well with meat, and makes the dish very juicy.
