Description

Fresh zucchini is sliced, grilled, and stuffed with a delicious blend of ricotta and herbs. This tasty dish can be served as an appetizer or an entrée for the ultimate summer meal.

Instructions

1. Combine all of the ingredients for the tomato sauce in a medium-sized pot and bring to a simmer. Allow the sauce to simmer for at least 30 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, heat a grill pan over high heat. Drizzle the zucchini slices with olive oil and season well with salt and pepper. Grill the zucchini slices for a few minutes on each side, or until they are starting to soften and are golden brown. Transfer the zucchini slices to a cutting board and let cool.

3. Mix the ricotta cheese with the garlic, herbs, and parmesan cheese. Season the mixture lightly with salt and pepper. Place a small spoonful of the cheese mixture on each zucchini slice, spreading it out to cover. Roll up the zucchini slices and place it seam-side down on a serving platter. Serve the zucchini rolls with the tomato sauce as an appetizer, alongside a salad, or over your favorite pasta.
