Zucchini Rollatini

One of our favorite ways to bridge the gap between summer and cozy fall meals is with dishes like this. Creator Craig Ruff describes this recipe as “ribbons of zucchini, filled with ricotta, mozzarella, and herbs, baked in marinara sauce…like lasagna roll-ups, but without the pasta.” Sounds like the best of both worlds to us.

These zucchini rollatini are ribbons of zucchini, filled with ricotta, mozzarella, and herbs, and baked in marinara sauce, a bit like lasagna roll-ups, but without the pasta.
