Zucchini Lasagna Roll-Ups

This dish is my secret weapon for comfort food cravings without the guilt. Thin zucchini slices rolled up with creamy ricotta, hearty beef, and marinara—then topped with bubbly mozzarella. It’s everything you love about lasagna, just lighter and packed with veggies. Bonus? They freeze beautifully and make meal prep a breeze!
