Ingredients

  • 4 medium zucchini, cut lengthwise into 16 (1/4-inch) strips
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup Muir Glen™ organic tomato basil pasta sauce (from 25.5-oz jar)
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese (8 oz)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 oz)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2/3 cup Progresso™ Italian panko crispy bread crumbs

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 425°F. Spray 8-inch square (2-quart) baking dish with cooking spray.
  • 2
    Brush both sides of zucchini slices with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil; season with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Place on ungreased large cookie sheet; roast 15 to 18 minutes or until zucchini is pliable enough to roll. Remove from oven; cool 5 minutes.
  • 3
    Spread pasta sauce in baking dish; set aside.
  • 4
    In medium bowl, mix ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, the pepper flakes and egg yolk.
  • 5
    In small bowl, mix bread crumbs and remaining 2 tablespoons oil.
  • 6
    Spread 1 rounded tablespoon ricotta filling evenly over each zucchini strip. Gently roll up, and place rolls on sides (so spiral shows on top) in baking dish in 4 rows by 4 rows, keeping them close together. Top with bread crumb mixture.
  • 7
    Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until filling is heated through and crumbs are browned.
  • 8
    Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Be careful not to overroast the zucchini slices, or they may break during rolling.
  • tip 2
    The recipe calls for only 1 cup of the Muir Glen™ pasta sauce. You can use the rest of the sauce in the jar on spaghetti, which would make a nice side to this dish.
