Zucchini Lasagna Rolls
Zucchini lasagna rolls are lasagna noodles filled with a zucchini cheese filling that's rolled up and baked to perfection in the oven. They're perfectly portioned for dinners and meal prep for the week!
Servings: 12 rolls
Calories: 244kcal
Ingredients
- 12 lasagna noodles
- 1.5 cups (200 g) finely grated zucchini, extra liquid squeezed out
- 15 ounces (425 g) ricotta cheese
- 2 cups (226 g) shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- ½ cup parmesan
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 24 ounces (680 g) marinara sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Lightly grease a 9x13 casserole dish and set aside.
- In a pot of salted boiling water, cook lasagna noodles to 1 minute shy of al dente according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water until lasagna noodles are easy to handle.
- While noodles are cooking, prepare filling. To a bowl, add zucchini (squeeze as much liquid out as possible before adding), ricotta, half of the mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until combined.
- Pour about 1 cup of the marinara sauce into your prepared 9x13 dish and spread into an even layer. Set aside.
- Pat lasagna noodles dry with a paper towel and lay out on a flat surface. Add about ¼ cup of your cheese mixture to each noodle and spread it edge to edge. Roll the noodles up and place into the prepared casserole dish.
- Pour remaining marinara sauce on top. Sprinkle with reserved mozzarella cheese.
- Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes, or until cheese is melted across the top and casserole is bubbling around the edges.

Notes
- Leftovers will keep for about 3 to 4 days in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator and reheat well.
- Crumbled and cooked ground beef or sausage can be added to the marinara sauce for added protein. I like to serve lasagna rolls with meatballs, garlic bread, and a side salad for a complete meal.
