Mealthy Tip

Zucchini makes for the perfect low-carb and gluten-free alternative to pasta. Swap out the ricotta and use a different filling such as goat cheese and prosciutto or crab and cream cheese.

Sam Dalton says:

Very good zucchini rolls ups, and this is coming from the guy that doesn't really like zucchini. It's a nice alternative to lasagna and also kid friendly.

Laura Griffin says:

I wasn't sure how these would turn out, but they were very good! The trick is getting the perfect thickness of the zucchini slices. Some of mine were too thick, some were too thin. But once you have it rolled up and bake in the oven, it all tastes the same! Delicious dish!
