Servings: Yield: 4 servings Per serving: 1 Lean | 3 Green | 1 Condiment
Ingredients
  • 2 large zucchini
  • 1 ½ cups part-skim ricotta
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and patted dry
  • 1 ½ cups reduced-fat, shredded mozzarella, divided
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan
  • ⅛ Tsp salt
  • Pinch nutmeg
  • 1 cup low-sugar tomato sauce
Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 375 °F.
  2. Using a mandoline slicer, slice zucchini lengthwise into ⅛-inch thick slices; set aside.
  3. In a medium-sized bowl, combine ricotta, egg, spinach, ½ cup mozzarella, parmesan, salt, and nutmeg.
  4. Layer three slices of zucchini parallel to each other, and so that they are slightly overlapping one another. Place a large spoonful of ricotta mixture on one end of the zucchini slices, and roll up the zucchini. Place the stuffed zucchini next to each other into a lightly-greased 9×9-inch baking dish.
  5. Pour tomato sauce over top of the zucchini, and then sprinkle with cheese.
  6. Bake for 25 minutes.
