Ingredients:
- 15 oz part-skim ricotta
- 2 tbsp parsley, chopped
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 16 oz part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 4 cups tomato sauce (we prefer homemade )
- 4 medium zucchinis, sliced 1/8″ thick (use a mandolin to slice zucchini and try broiling the zucchini slices before assembling your lasagna to avoid excess moisture)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- In a medium bowl, mix ricotta cheese, parsley, Parmesan cheese and an egg. Stir well.
- In a casserole dish, generously coat the bottom with tomato sauce.
- Begin assembling your lasagna roll-ups by placing zucchini slices on a cutting board or wax paper on the counter. Spread about 3 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture over each individual zucchini noodle.
- Sprinkle some mozzarella cheese.
- Carefully roll up and place them in the baking dish.
- Use remaining tomato sauce to top the zucchini lasagna rolls.
- Sprinkle Parmesan and mozzarella cheese.
- Bake covered with foil for approximately 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 15 to 20 minutes more until cheese is melted.
