Zucchini Rolls

Just like a lasagna roll but with zucchini instead. Yum!! Fresh nutmeg really makes the difference in any ricotta custard filling.

kosher salt

1 large zucchini, cut lengthwise into 1/4 inch slices (12 slices)

10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and pressed dry

1 cup ricotta cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 egg

nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

5 ounces, shredded mozzarella

use a mandolin to slice the zucchini

Preheat oven to 425. Spray a nonstick baking sheet and 12 x 8 inch baking pan with cooking spray. 

Arrange zucchini slices on nonstick baking sheets in a single layer, spray zucchini with cooking spray. Lightly sprinkle kosher salt over the zucchini. Bake zucchini 10 minutes; flip and bake for 10 minutes or until tender. Remove from oven & reduce temperature to 350.

While the zucchini are cooling, combine spinach, ricotta, egg, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Spread spinach mixture evenly on each zucchini slice; roll up slices. Place rolls, seam side down, in baking dish.
