Zucchini Rollatini
Italian sausage and basil rolled up in zucchini slices and baked.
Ingredients
- olive oil
- 2 Italian Sausages spicy or mild
- 2 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 3/4 cup fresh basil leaves- chopped or 1 rounded tablespoon dried
- 1 large fresh zucchini
- 4 small slices mozzarella cheese or 2 tablespoons shredded
Instructions
- Set your oven at 400°F.Put a skillet on the stove at medium high. Add enough olive oil to barely cover the bottom.Remove the skin from the sausages and put the sausages in the skillet. Break up the sausages with a spoon or a flipper. Add the chopped garlic. Turn or flip them a few times as they cook. When they are done add the marinara sauce, basil and most of the parmesan cheese. Hold just a little of the parmesan back for serving
- As the sausage is cooking cut the ends off of the zucchini and slice off about a half of an inch lengthwise. Now slice off 4 slices each about 1/4 of an inch thick.
- Line a baking pan with aluminum foil and lightly spray with olive oil. Use toothpicks to form the zucchini rolls and stand them on their sides in the baking sheet. Put the sausage into the zucchini rolls. Top them with a slice of the mozzarella, and just a drizzle of marinara sauce. And a little of the parmesan that you held back.
- Into the oven for about 10 - 15 minutes. I test the zucchini with a table fork to see when it's done. When it is soft and easy to poke it's ready.
