Ingredients
- For the Roll-Ups:
8 lasagna noodles, cooked and laid flat
1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced lengthwise
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 ball (4 oz) fresh burrata cheese, torn
Olive oil, for brushing
Fresh basil, for garnish
- For the Lemon Pesto Drizzle:
1/4 cup basil pesto
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Lay cooked lasagna noodles flat. Top each with thin zucchini slices and spread ricotta mixture evenly over the top.
Roll up noodles gently and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Brush tops with olive oil. Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until heated through and lightly golden.
Meanwhile, whisk together pesto, lemon juice, lemon zest, and olive oil to make the drizzle.
Remove roll-ups from the oven and immediately top with torn burrata so it melts slightly from the warmth.
Drizzle with lemon pesto and garnish with fresh basil before serving.
Notes
You can prepare the roll-ups ahead of time and refrigerate before baking.
To avoid excess moisture, lightly salt zucchini slices and pat them dry before layering.
Burrata should be added after baking for best texture—don’t bake it directly.
Make it gluten-free by using gluten-free lasagna noodles or veggie “noodles.”
