If you’re looking for a comforting, veggie-packed main dish for weeknights, Giada De Laurentiis just shared a cheesy dinner you’re going to fall in love with. And no, it’s not a traditional baked pasta.
“Everybody knows I love all things pasta, but sometimes it’s fun to switch it up a bit,” De Laurentiis writes in the caption of herrecent Instagram video.
Using seasonal produce, De Laurentiis showed us how to whip up herZucchini Lasagna Rolls, and they’re surprisingly simple to make with prep time only taking 20 minutes. Here’s everything you need to know.

When all the rolls are packed in the pan, De Laurentiis pours marinara over the zucchini rolls until fully coated and tops it off with shredded mozzarella cheese. After baking it in the oven at 450°F for 30 minutes, the result is “delicious, cheesy perfection.”
Replacing lasagna sheets with zucchini is a great way to add in more veggies and use up your harvest. A family-friendly main you can make any day of the week, these veggie lasagna rolls remind us of our ownZucchini Lasagna Rolls with Smoked Mozzarella. Like De Laurentiis’ version, ours uses three cheeses and spinach—but theEatingWellrecipe opts for frozen spinach for easier prep.
Zucchiniis packed with antioxidants that are incredible for your skin, eyes and bone health. Plus, the addition of spinach in these rolls gives you another veggie withamazing health benefits, as the dark leafy green is great for reducing inflammation, regulating blood pressure, improving exercise recovery and more. Overall, we give this veggie-packed main two thumbs up—especially if you pair it with one of theseeasy, three-step veggie side dishes.
