Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 medium summer squashes (preferably yellow zucchini), ends trimmed, sliced lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick ribbons
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons minced shallot
2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons finely chopped toasted blanched hazelnuts
1 1/2 cups fresh ricotta
2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh marjoram leaves
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill
1/4 cup finely grated Pecorino Romano (1 ounce)
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest (from 2 lemons)
1 bunch small-leaved arugula

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Toss squash ribbons with 2 tablespoons oil; arrange in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Roast just until tender, about 8 minutes. Let cool completely, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine shallot and vinegar; let stand 15 minutes. Whisk in remaining 1/4 cup oil and hazelnuts; season with salt and pepper.
  • In a bowl, combine ricotta, herbs, Pecorino Romano, and lemon zest; season with salt and pepper. Place 3 arugula leaves crosswise on one end of each squash ribbon. Top with about 1 1/2 tablespoons ricotta filling. Roll squash up to create a little bundle, and place, seamside down, on a platter. Repeat with remaining squash, arugula, and filling. Serve, drizzled with vinaigrette.

These rolls were a lot of work and they didn't turn out very well. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

These rolls were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time.

I'm not a fan of arugula, so I omitted it from the recipe. The rolls were still very good.

I'm not a big fan of squash, but these rolls were surprisingly good. The herbed ricotta and arugula really balanced out the flavor of the squash.

I love how versatile this recipe is. I didn't have any arugula on hand, so I used spinach instead. I also added a bit of crumbled feta to the ricotta filling. The rolls were still delicious!
