INGREDIENTS
2 zucchinis
250g ricotta
3/4 parmesan, grated
3 tbsp basil leaves, chopped
2 handfuls spinach, chopped
1/4 cup passata
400g tin crushed/ diced tomatoes
handful cherry tomatoes
75g fresh mozzarella
salt and pepper for taste
METHOD
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees
2. Slice the zucchini lengthways – using a peeler will do the trick! (there will be the core leftover, chuck this in a fry pan as a side)
3. In a large bowl, mix the ricotta, half the parmesan, salt,pepper and chopped basil together until smooth
4. Make a criss cross out of two strips of the zucchini (X shape) and place a spoonful of ricotta mixture in the middle – fold to create a small parcel
5. Repeat for remaining zucchini and mixture
6. Add passata and tinned tomatoes to the base of a dish, top with zucchini parcels
7. Arrange cherry tomatoes in between parcel pieces
8. Top with mozzarella and parmesan
9. Bake for 30 minutes, until golden and melted
Best enjoyed straight out the oven!
