Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchini, cut lengthwise into 16 slices (1/4 inch thick)
  • 1 jar (24 ounces) marinara sauce, divided

FILLING

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/2 cup romano cheese, grated
  • 6 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, finely diced

TOPPING

  • 1 cup mozzarella, shredded

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Pour 1 cup of the marinara sauce into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Set aside.
  • Place sliced zucchini on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Top with more paper towels to dry up excess moisture. Set aside while you prepare the filling.
  • In a medium bowl combine ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, romano cheese, cream cheese, garlic, salt, pepper, and parsley.
  • Remove paper towels from zucchini strips and working one strip at a time, spread about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture onto each slice of zucchini.
  • Roll the zucchini strip up to completely cover the cheese filling.
  • Set the rolled zucchini seam side down into the baking dish (nestle into the sauce).
  • Top with remaining marinara sauce and shredded cheese.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake 20 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake 10 more minutes or until cheese is hot and bubbly.
