Zucchini Lasagna Roll-Ups

Thin zucchini slices replace pasta sheets, holding creamy ricotta and melted mozzarella in neat bundles that bake until golden. Each roll-up stays intact on the plate, delivering that familiar lasagna comfort in a lighter form.

Low-carb zucchini roll-ups that don't need to be baked are a tasty and easy way to start the meal or have a snack. Thin slices of zucchini are rolled up and topped with marinara sauce. The zucchini is filled with a creamy ricotta cheese mixture that tastes like basil and garlic. They are great for people on a low-carb or ketogenic diet and can be made ahead of time to save time. As a light and refreshing meal, try these tasty roll-ups!

Ingredients: 2 large zucchinis, thinly sliced lengthwise. 1 cup ricotta cheese. 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil. 1 clove garlic, minced. Salt and pepper, to taste. 1/2 cup marinara sauce sugar-free, if possible. Fresh basil leaves, for garnish optional.

Instructions: Add the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped basil, garlic, salt, and pepper to a bowl. Mix them together. Put a little marinara sauce on top of each zucchini slice. Put a small amount of the ricotta mix on one end of every zucchini slice. If you need to, use a toothpick to hold the zucchini slices together as you roll them up. Do it again with the rest of the filling and zucchini slices. Put the zucchini rolls on a platter to serve. If you want, you can add fresh basil leaves as a garnish. Serve right away or put in the fridge until you're ready to serve.
