Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat.
• Brush both sides of the zucchini slices with olive oil and place them on the grill. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill, turning occasionally, until very soft but not falling apart, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the slices to paper towels to absorb the excess moisture. Let them cool completely.
• Spread about 2 teaspoons of the herbed cheese onto each of the zucchini slices. Place a basil leaf on top. Starting at one end, roll each zucchini slice up until it's a nice neat roll.
• Serve the roll-ups on a platter garnished with small basil leaves. These can be assembled and chilled up to 3 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Trim the ends off of the zucchini and slice lengthwise on a mandoline to about 1/8-inch thick. Reserve the 16 largest interior slices for this dish and save the rest for another use.
• Fill a medium ovenproof skillet with lightly salted water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add half of the zucchini slices and cook until just pliable, about 45 seconds. Transfer to a paper towel-lined platter to dry. Repeat with the remaining zucchini slices.
• Stir the ricotta, basil, oregano, lemon zest and 3/4 cup mozzarella together in a bowl with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Beat the egg well in another bowl, then add 1 tablespoon egg to the ricotta mixture and stir to incorporate. (Discard the remaining egg.)
• Pour the water out from the skillet and add the marinara. Bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat.
• While the sauce warms, lay the dry zucchini slices out on a work surface. Spoon a scant tablespoon of the ricotta filling on one end of a zucchini slice, then gently roll the zucchini up. Arrange in the skillet seam-side down. Repeat with the remaining zucchini slices and ricotta filling.
• Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella and bake until the center is bubbling and the cheese is golden in spots, 20 to 30 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

ZUCCHINI ROLL UPS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Cut off the ends of the zucchini. Use a mandolin to slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin sheets, 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) thick.
• Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on the lined baking sheet. Brush both sides with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Roast zucchini slices in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until soft and mostly dry.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together tomato sauce, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Italian seasoning, and minced garlic. Adjust salt to taste if needed. Spread 3/4 cup (177 ml) of the sauce at the bottom of an 8x8 square glass casserole dish (this one is the perfect size). Reserve the remaining sauce for later. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together the ricotta, Parmesan, egg, and Italian seasoning.
• Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on a large cutting board. Pat dry with paper towels to soak up any extra water or oil.
• Spread a tablespoon of ricotta mixture over each zucchini slice. Sprinkle with a tablespoon of mozzarella. Roll up tightly and place sideways into the baking dish. Repeat with all the zucchini slices.
• Top each zucchini roll with 1/2 tablespoon (7 ml) of the remaining sauce, then 1/2 tablespoon (7.05 g) of mozzarella.
• Bake for about 10 minutes, until the cheese on top is melted. Garnish with fresh basil.
