This experiment turned out super watery. I found an inspiration recipe and modified it a bit according to what I liked. Perhaps that was the reason it turned watery, as I didn't follow the instructions exactly. I drained whatever excess liquid I could and the flavor was still good. I honestly would probably not make this again because of how watery it was.
Here is the link to the inspiration recipe. https://downshiftology.com/recipes/zucchini-lasagna/
