Instructions
  1. NOTE—this recipe makes 4 servings and calls for half of each cheese. Use leftover by making this recipe again before expiration date on ricotta and mozzarella cheese.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  3. In a medium-sized bowl whisk egg into ricotta cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese. If using, add salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
  4. Tip: peeling zucchini makes it easier to work with. Trim ends of zucchini. Using a mandolin on #2 thickness {or a very sharp knife}, slice zucchini peeled or unpeeled into thin planks. Arrange on paper towels.
  5. Add three-fourths jar of sauce to a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
  6. Spread a heaping spoonful of cheese mixture on zucchini plank leaving one end free of cheese. Roll plank from filled end. Add to baking dish. Repeat until all zucchini planks are used.
  7. Add remaining sauce down the middle of each row of lasagna rolls.
  8. Bake uncovered 30 minutes or until cheese is cooked through.
  9. Remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes before serving.
  10. Optional Garnish - optional, garnish each serving with a bit of shredded Parmesan cheese and an Italian or flat-leaf parsley leaf.
  11. Goes well with a Garden Side Salad. Recipe link follows.
