Sauté chopped onion and garlic in olive oil until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in tomato sauce, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper; simmer for 10 minutes.

In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, egg, and spinach until well combined.

Spread a layer of meat sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.

Layer zucchini slices over the meat sauce, followed by a layer of the ricotta mixture.

Repeat layers until ingredients are used up, finishing with meat sauce on top.

Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan cheese over the final layer.

Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes, then remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
