Looking for a light and flavorful vegetarian main course? These zucchini roll ups are the perfect solution! Packed with fresh herbs, creamy ricotta, and savory tomato sauce, this dish is a delightful twist on traditional stuffed vegetables. It's also a great way to incorporate more zucchini into your diet.
These easy-to-make zucchini roll-ups are filled with a creamy blend of ricotta cheese, Parmesan, fresh basil, and garlic. They are then baked in a rich tomato sauce until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. This Mediterranean-inspired dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
Slice zucchini into thin strips and lay them out on a work surface. Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
For the ricotta filling, grate the Parmesan, chop the basil and garlic, and mix with the egg and ricotta. Place a teaspoon of the filling on one end of a zucchini strip and roll it up.
Pour tomato sauce into a baking dish to coat the bottom. Arrange the zucchini roll-ups on top, brush with a little more tomato sauce, and sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 200°C for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
