Grilled Zucchini "Lasagna" Recipe with Italian Sausage, Tomato, and Basil Sauce

Grilled Zucchini "Lasagna"
Low-Carb and Gluten-Free "Lasagna" with grilled zucchini replacing the noodles!

(Updated with new photos and better instructions, September 2012.)  This recipe is for vegetable gardeners in the northern hemisphere who might be wondering how to use one of those huge zucchinis that suddenly appear overnight. For years I've been making "lasagna" using zucchini in place of the lasagna noodles, and this is one of my favorite uses for those monster zucchinis that are inevitable if you have a garden.  Grilling the zucchini removes some of the liquid that might otherwise make the zucchini too watery, and if you don't have an outdoor grill you could certainly do this on a stove-top grill pan. Of course, using zucchini instead of pasta makes a version of lasagna that's low-carb, gluten-free, and South Beach Diet friendly, (and could easily be vegetarian without the sausage in the sauce) but it's delicious as well!
