Savory lasagna rolls filled with ricotta and spinach, wrapped in zucchini slices for a lower-carb twist. Easy to prepare and full of flavor, these rolls are topped with marinara sauce and melted cheese before being baked to perfection.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Spread 1/2 cup of the marinara sauce evenly over the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish. Set aside.
3
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife. Arrange them flat on a baking sheet, sprinkle with salt, and let them rest for 15 minutes to draw out moisture. Pat dry with a paper towel afterwards.
4
Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the baby spinach and cook until wilted. This should take about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and leave to cool.
5
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cooled spinach, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
6
Lay out the zucchini strips, then spread a spoonful of the ricotta mixture onto each slice. Roll the strips tightly and place into the prepared baking dish, seam-side down.
7
Once you have finished with all the zucchini strips and ricotta mixture, spread the remaining marinara sauce over the rolled zucchini. Sprinkle the Mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the zucchini is tender.
9
Finish the dish by garnishing with freshly chopped basil before serving.
