Ingredients

  • 2 zucchini thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach chopped
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups Marinara sauce
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F. Also heat the grill to cook zucchini.
  • Slice the zucchini into long thin ribbons using a mandolin or a sharp knife.
  • Lightly salt the zucchini and set aside for about 10 minutes while you prep the filling.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, feta cheese, egg, chopped spinach, minced garlic, chopped basil and parsley, salt and pepper.  Mix until combined.
  • Meanwhile, pat the zucchini dry with a paper towel to remove the excess moisture. 
  • Brush each zucchini slice with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place the zucchini slices on the grill to cook each side for about 3 minutes, just to soften.
  • Remove the zucchini from the grill and place a half tablespoon of filling onto each slice.  Roll up from the bottom.  Repeat.
  • Pour 1/2 cup of the marinara sauce into your baking dish and place the filled zucchini rollups on top of the marinara sauce.
  • Top the filled and rolled zucchini with more marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes at 350°.
  • Enjoy!
