Herbed Zucchini Rollups with Marinara
These Herbed Zucchini Rollups with Marinara are a delicious vegetarian meal! Zucchini is thinly sliced and rolled up with an herbed ricotta and mozzarella mixture and cooks directly in zesty marinara sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini, very thinly sliced with a vegetable peeler
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Freshly cracked pepper
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 16 oz jarred or homemade marinara sauce
- Fresh oregano and basil to garnish
Instructions
- Using a vegetable slicer, start slicing very thin ribbons of zucchini lengthwise. If some tear, that's ok - they will still roll up just fine.
- In a medium bowl combine ricotta, mozzarella, Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, salt, pepper, and dried herbs.
- Lay one zucchini ribbon on your cutting board and spoon a small amount of the cheese mixture at one end. Carefully start wrapping the zucchini around the cheese until the zucchini is completely rolled up. Repeat.
- Add your marinara to a large saute pan. Add your zucchini roll-ups directly into the marinara, standing them up so you can see the ricotta mixture.
- Cook covered over medium heat for about 20 minutes, until zucchini is steamed and cooked through.
- Garnish with fresh herbs and enjoy!
