Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 zucchinis
1 tablespoon salt
1 large egg
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup bread crumbs
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
3 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
4 cups cooked pasta
marinara sauce

Steps:

  • Cut off the bottoms of each zucchini and use a cheese grater or box grater to shred into a large bowl. Sprinkle salt on top, toss, and let rest in a colander in the sink for 20 minutes to pull out excess moisture.
  • Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
  • Using a dish towel, squeeze out excess liquid from the shredded zucchini. Move the zucchini to a dry bowl and add the egg, ricotta bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, basil, parsley, pepper, olive oil, onion, and garlic. Stir until evenly mixed, then form the mixture into golf ball-sized balls.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until browned, flipping halfway through.
  • Serve over pasta with marinara sauce.
  • Enoy!
