Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, spiralized

1 cup ricotta cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup marinara sauce (plus extra for serving)

1/2 cup diced bell peppers (red and yellow)

1/2 cup sliced mushrooms

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp dried basil

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil for drizzling

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Zucchini Noodles: Start by spiralizing the zucchinis to create noodle-like strands. Sprinkle them lightly with salt and let them sit in a colander for about 15 minutes to release excess moisture. Afterward, gently pat them dry with paper towels.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the chopped onion, garlic, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables soften. Season with oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.

      Make the Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella cheese, and the grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until well blended, then fold in the sautéed vegetable mixture.

        Assemble the Rolls: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take a strip of zucchini, place a spoonful of the cheese and vegetable mixture at one end, and carefully roll it up. Place the rolled zucchini seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat until all the zucchini strips are filled and rolled.

          Add Sauce and Cheese: Pour the marinara sauce over the top of the rolls, and sprinkle with the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese.

            Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.

              Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve with extra marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
