Instructions For Zucchini Spinach Manicotti Recipe Idea

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Using a mandolin slicer, slice zucchini lengthwise into 1/8-inch thick slices; set aside (I use a vegetable peeler)

In a medium-sized bowl, combine ricotta, egg, spinach 1/2 cup mozzarella, parmesan, salt and nutmeg

Layer 3 slices of zucchini parallel to each other, and so that they are slightly overlapping one another. Place a large spoonful of ricotta mixture on one end of the zucchini slices and roll up the zucchini. Place the stuffed zucchini next to each other into a lightly greased 9x9-inch baking dish

Pour tomato sauce over top of zucchini and then sprinkle with cheese

Bake for 25 minutes
