Feel fresh and fancy with these zucchini rolls.
Top tip when making this recipe: make sure to get all that excess liquid out of the spinach. Squeeze it between your hands – you will be amazed at how much comes out. What’s left is all the fibre! Which is what we’re after. The ricotta filling for these rolls also doubles up as a delicious pasta sauce, finished with a squeeze of lemon. Scale the recipe up if you’re feeding a crowd.
