Ingredients
- 5 medium zucchini (about 3 lbs) , sliced lengthwise into 30 1/8-inch thick strips
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- ¾ lbs Italian sausage
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- salt and pepper
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup chopped fresh basil leaves
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- ½ cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella divided
- 2 cups marinara sauce
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Lay zucchini slices flat in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle each side with salt; let stand 15 minutes. Before rolling, dab zucchini with a paper towel to get rid of excess moisture.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add Italian sausage and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the sausage as it cooks. Add chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer cooked sausage and onion mixture to a mixing bowl using a slotted spoon to drain excess fat. Add egg, chopped basil, 1 cup ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, and 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese to the bowl. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Stir until everything is well combined.
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Spread 1 cup marinara sauce onto the bottom of a 9-inch oven-proof skillet; set aside.
- Spread 1 tablespoon sausage cheese mixture evenly along each zucchini slice. Roll up and place in the prepared skillet; repeat with remaining zucchini slices. Top zucchini roll-ups with remaining 1 cup marinara sauce and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella on top.
- Bake in a preheated oven for about 25 minutes. Serve warm.
