Ingredients
- 2 large thick Zucchini (washed and unpeeled)
- 14 oz can crushed tomatoes (or pasta sauce of choice/Passata)
- 18 oz frozen spinach (thawed)
- 18 oz Ricotta
- 2 x-large eggs
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed (or 2 teaspoons garlic powder)
- 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese (divided)
- 1 pinch salt to taste
Steps
-
Preheat oven to 210°C | 410°F. Prepare a shallow baking dish with half of the pasta sauce. Set aside. Using a mandolin, slice Zucchini lengthwise to create wide ribbons. Set aside.
-
Place spinach in a large bowl and squeeze out any excess liquid and discard. Mix in the ricotta, eggs, garlic and 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese until all ingredients are well combined. Mix through salt to taste.
-
Place two zucchini ribbons on top of each other (as pictured above); spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture onto the smallest end. Roll up to form a cannelloni and place into a shallow baking dish, open end facing up. Repeat with remaining zucchini and spinach mixture. Pour the remaining sauce over the 'cannelloni,' and top with remaining cheese.
-
Bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbling and the zucchini is soft when tested with a fork or toothpick.
