- 600g Tomato sauce

- 4 tablespoons Parmesan, divided
- 100g Baby spinach

Directions:
1. Using a mandolin or a sharp knife, slice the zucchini into thin slices. Place the zucchini slices on a baking rack and sprinkle with salt from both sides. Allow to sit for 15-20 minutes to release its moisture. Then remove the salt and the moisture using a paper towel.
2. Make the sauce: in a pan, heat 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil, add chopped onion and sauté until golden, about 6-7 minutes, add garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add tomato sauce, thyme, oregano, salt, black pepper, mix and cook for 5 minutes. Set aside.
3. Make the filling: in a large bowl mix ricotta cheese, feta cheese, 2 tablespoons of parmesan, 2oz (60 grams) of shredded mozzarella, lemon zest and black pepper. Note: at this stage you can add any spices that you like. Taste to check the seasoning, if needed add more spices.
4. In a pan cook spinach for 4-5 minutes, until wilted. Transfer the spinach to a cutting board and roughly chop. Add chopped spinach to the cheese mixture and mix until combined.
5. Transfer the filling into a pastry bag.
6. Preheat oven to 375F (190C).
7. Assembly: Spread a quarter of the sauce on the bottom of a 9-inch (24cm) diameter pan. Take zucchini slices and roll them into tubes. Arrange them tightly on top of the sauce. Fill each tube with the cheese mixture.
8. Sprinkle some about 3oz (120g) of shredded mozzarella cheese on top, sprinkle 2 tablespoons grated parmesan.
9. Bake until melted, about 25-30 minutes or until melted and golden.
