Ingredients
- 4 zucchini medium size
- kosher salt
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tomato sauce basil, 24 ounce jar
- black pepper to taste
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups spinach fresh, minced
- 1-1/2 cup mozzarella cheese divided
- 1-1/4 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- 1 egg large
Instructions
- Slice the zucchinis into thin strips using a knife or with a mandolin. The mandolin makes it much easier. The number of slices will depend on the size of your zucchini but you should get 6-8 slices PER zucchini.
- Place the zucchini strips on paper towels and sprinkle salt on top. After 15 minutes, turn them over and repeat. This will sweat out moisture.
- After 30 minutes have passed, squeeze the zucchinis to remove the rest of the water.
- While the zucchini slices are sweating prepare the sauce and filling.
- Place a skillet on medium-high heat.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet and break up with a spatula.
- Season the ground beef with black pepper and a pinch of kosher salt.
- Cook until the beef is no longer pink.
- Add in the garlic cloves and saute for 30 seconds or until the garlic is fragrant.
- Drain the fat off the ground beef and pour the jar of tomato sauce into the ground beef. Stir to combine and remove from the heat.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, combine fresh minced spinach, ricotta cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, shredded Parmesan cheese, and egg.
- Stir to combine.
- Spread a ladle full of sauce to the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Spread the sauce over the bottom of the dish.
- Spread 1-1/2 teaspoon of the ricotta mixture onto each zucchini and roll up and place in the baking dish.
- Spread the rest of the sauce on top of the rolls and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted and is bubbling.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
