How do you prepare the recipe, step by step? How long does it take? What do you need? If an oven is needed, at how many degrees and how long should the dish be in the oven?:

Start grilling the zucchini. Slice the courgettes lengthwise into slices with a cheese slicer. Heat a grill pan on the stove. Spread the zucchini slices with some olive oil, salt and pepper, grill the slices on both sides for about 3 minutes. Sprinkle pepper on both sides!!

2 Put a frying pan on the stove for the tomato sauce. Chop the onion and fry it briefly in the frying pan. Squeeze the garlic clove and fry briefly. Add the passata together with the paprika, thyme and bay leaves. Let the sauce simmer for at least 15 minutes on low heat.

3 Place another pan on the stove for the filling of the zucchini rolls. Add some olive oil to the pan and fry the spinach and arugula until they wilt. Add the pesto and ricotta and stir until it has become a nice filling. Sauce and rolls can easily be stored in the refrigerator for two days.

4 Preheat the convection oven to 180 degrees.

5 Now put the tomato sauce in a baking dish. Place about a tablespoon of the ricotta filling on one of the ends of the zucchini slices. Roll up the slices and place the rolls in the tomato sauce in the baking dish.

6 Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the rolls and put the baking dish in the oven for about 20 minutes, until the cheese is nicely melted. From the fridge: 30 minutes

7. Serve with your pasta, for example penne.
