Zucchini Lasagna Roll-Ups
Zucchini Lasagna Roll-Ups are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional lasagna. This dish is perfect for those who are looking for a low-carb, gluten-free, and vegetarian option. These roll-ups are made with thinly sliced zucchini, which is filled with a creamy ricotta cheese mixture and topped with a flavorful tomato sauce.
To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced lengthwise into thin strips
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- Fresh basil, for garnish
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a small bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
Next, take a zucchini slice and spread a spoonful of the ricotta mixture on top. Roll up the zucchini slice and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining zucchini slices and ricotta mixture.
Once all the zucchini roll-ups are in the baking dish, pour the remaining tomato sauce over the top. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
When the dish is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil and serve hot.
These Zucchini Lasagna Roll-Ups are a perfect combination of creamy and savory flavors. The zucchini adds a nice crunch to the dish, while the ricotta cheese mixture and tomato sauce provide a rich and satisfying taste. This dish is perfect for a cozy night in or for entertaining guests.
