Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice the zucchini lengthwise using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Aim for slices about 1/8 inch thick.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well until smooth.
  3. Season the cream cheese mixture with salt and pepper.
  4. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over each zucchini slice.
  5. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of pesto over the cream cheese mixture on each slice.
  6. Carefully roll up each zucchini slice from one end to the other.
  7. Arrange the roll-ups on a serving platter.
  8. Chill for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow them to set.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh, firm zucchini.
  • You can adjust the amount of pesto and cream cheese to your preference.
  • If you don’t have cream cheese, ricotta cheese can be a good substitute.
  • Garnish with extra Parmesan or fresh basil leaves if desired.
