Ingredients

• 3 medium Zucchini
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Spinach, fresh
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 cup Marinara sauce
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Using a mandoline or vegetable peeler, slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin strips about 1/8 inch thick. You will need at least 12 strips.

Step 3

In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add fresh spinach to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, cooked spinach, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix well until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Lay out the zucchini strips on a flat surface. Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of the ricotta mixture onto each strip.

Step 7

Roll up the zucchini strips carefully, making sure the filling doesn't squeeze out. Place each roll seam-side down in a baking dish.

Step 8

Pour marinara sauce evenly over the zucchini rolls in the baking dish.

Step 9

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the rolls and cover the baking dish with foil.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.

Step 11

Remove from oven and let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving.
