Zucchini Ravioli/Lasagna Rolls Mash-Up

I've been wanting to try subbing zucchini slices for lasagna noodles for a while and we finally made this on Sunday night.  This is a mash up from a lasagna roll recipe off Recipe Runner and a ravioli recipe I've seen circulating around Pinterest (image below). It was DELICIOUS!  Here's the details:

Ingredients (filling):
  • 12 ounces part skim ricotta cheese
  • 3 tbs parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbs fresh flat leaf parsley
  • 1 tbs fresh basil 
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes (if you want slightly spicy)
  • black pepper to taste
Other ingredients:
  • 2 large zucchini sliced lengthwise 
  • 1 lb cooked ground beef, turkey, or sausage 
  • 2 cups marinara sauce 
  • 1/2 cup shredded part skim mozzarella cheese
Instructions:
  1. Add all ingredients for ricotta filling in a bowl and mix until blended. Store in fridge until ready. 
  2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  3. Spray 9 x 13 pan with olive oil spray.
  4. Combine sauce and cooked meat. Spread a thin layer on the bottom of the pan.
  5. Place zucchini slices on microwaveable safe plate for about 2 minutes. This will steam them and get them soft to use. 
  6. Spread 4 zucchini slices out (see below) and add a spoonful of ricotta mixture to the middle. Fold up and place in pan seam sides down. Repeat until all noddles/ricotta mixture is gone.
  7. Pour remaining meat and sauce mixture on top of ravioli. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. 
  8. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. 
  9. Serve with side salad & ENJOY!
