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!

1 cup ricotta cheese
1 egg
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Salt & pepper to taste
Olive oil for brushing

Spread a little ricotta and beef onto each zucchini slice, roll up, and place seam-side down in a baking dish.
