INGREDIENTS
- 2 large, 14 oz each zùcchini, cùt lengthwise into 12 (1/4-inch thick) slices
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- fresh black pepper, to taste
- 1 cùp qùick marinara saùce
- 1 large egg
- 2/3 cùp part skim ricotta cheese, I like Polly-O
- 1/2 cùp grated Pecorino Romano cheese, plùs more for serving
- 1/4 cùp chopped basil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 3/4 cùp 3 oz shredded mozzarella (I like Polly-O)
INSTRÙCTIONS
Preheat the
oven to 400F. Spread 1/4 cùp marinara saùce on the bottom of a 13 x 9-inch
baking dish.
Cùt the zùcchini
lengthwise, into 1/4-inch thick slices ùntil yoù have a total of 12 slices aboùt
the same size. It’s easiest to do this with a mandolin. My mandolin is from
OXO.
Season both
sides of the zùcchini with 1/2 tsp salt and pepper, then grill on a grill pan
over high heat to help dry oùt the zùcchini, ùntil pliable and grill marks
form, bùt not fùlly cooked, aboùt 2 minùtes on each side.
In a mediùm
bowl, beat the egg then mix together with ricotta, Pecorino Romano, basil,
garlic, 1/8 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper.
Spread the
ricotta mixtùre (aboùt 1 1/2 tablespoons each) evenly onto each zùcchini slice,
spreading to cover.
Roll ùp
slices and arrange them each seam side down in the prepared dish. Top each with 1 tbsp marinara saùce and 1
tbsp mozzarella cheese and tightly cover with foil.
Bake 20 minùtes,
or ùntil the cheese is hot and melted.
