Summer Squash: Herbed Ricotta Cheese Zucchini Rolls

August 1, 2020 By Joe Denly Leave a Comment

There is just something about the combination of fresh herbs intertwined with warm and creamy ricotta cheese. It’s comforting and hearty but not overly filling and I think I could eat copious amounts of it –– especially in these Herbed Ricotta Cheese Zucchini Rolls. Zucchini, on the other hand, has not always been a favorite “thing” of mine. As a kid, I thought it gave me the willies. No, really, I felt like I got the chills every time I consumed even the tiniest morsel of zucchini and I would immediately come out with a “Blech!”  after doing so.

Now? Well, now … I adore zucchini and think summer just might not be complete without at least a few meals consisting of zucchini in some form or another and it delights me that such a summer-y squash can even grow in Texas. These rolls are a perfect excuse to pile on some herbaceous cheese, slice those green goddesses thinly and perhaps even have a few of your zucchini-lovin’ friends over if your willing to share.

 

Um … Yes, please!
