The cannelloni are made with zucchini and filled with ricotta cheese and spinach, which are simple ingredients but full of flavor. If you're looking for a low-carb, nutrient-rich meal, these zucchini cannelloni are your best choice.

Directions

45 min.
1. Step

Prepare the cannelloni: Cut the zucchini lengthwise into thin slices (about 6 per zucchini). It is recommended to use a mandolin for this, as it produces uniform slices and this will make the rolling process easier. Sauté the slices in a hot pan without oil for 1-2 minutes per side to soften them. Allow to cool.

2. Step

Prepare the filling: In a bowl mix the ricotta cheese, chopped spinach and garlic. Add salt and pepper to taste. It is important to drain the spinach well to avoid a very watery filling.

3. Step

Assemble the cannelloni: Spread a spoonful of the filling on each zucchini slice, and roll up tightly. Do this with all the slices.

4. Step

Prepare the dish: Pour one cup of marinara sauce into the bottom of an ovenproof dish. This is where the flavor of the marinara sauce really shines, so be sure to use a good quality one.

5. Step

Place the cannelloni in the dish with the edge down. Cover with the remaining sauce and sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top.

6. Step

Baking: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Then uncover and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.

7. Step

To serve: Let stand for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with basil leaves and enjoy!
