00:00 I love cheesy, saucy lasagna, but it can be pretty darn heavy and take hours to make.
00:06 So these zucchini lasagna rolls with smoked mozzarella are a faster, lighter version that are packed with veggies.
00:12 I'm using a knife here to slice my zucchini into thin, uniform strips.
00:17 Seasoning and then baking the strips allows them to become tender.
00:20 Next, make a ricotta filling that you'll roll inside the zucchini strips.
00:24 Top with more delicious marinara, smoked mozzarella cheese, and parmesan.
00:28 Bake the zucchini rolls in the oven until they are bubbly, warm, and browned on top,
00:33 and then garnish with some chopped fresh basil.
00:36 The garlic and the smoked mozzarella is so good in here.
