Ingredients
*Ingredients available at the Saratoga Farmers’ Market
3 large zucchini, trimmed (about 4 pounds), sliced lengthwise into 24 ⅛-inch-thick strips
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
¾ pound Italian sausage, casing removed
1 cup part skim ricotta cheese
⅓ cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 large egg
¼ cup chopped fresh basil leaves
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups marinara sauce, divided
2 cups shredded mozzarella, divided
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Lay zucchini slices flat in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Season with salt, to taste; let stand 15 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add Italian sausage and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the sausage as it cooks; drain excess fat.
In a medium bowl, combine sausage, ricotta, Parmesan, egg, basil and garlic; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Spread 1 cup marinara sauce sauce onto the bottom of a large cast iron skillet over; set aside.
Spread 1 tablespoon ricotta mixture evenly along each zucchini slice; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon mozzarella cheese. Roll up and place in the prepared skillet; repeat with remaining zucchini slices and filling. Top with remaining 1/2 cup marinara sauce and sprinkle with remaining 1 cup mozzarella.
Place into oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until lasagna rolls are heated through and the cheese is beginning to brown.
Serve immediately.
