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.

The vinaigrette was a bit too oily for my liking.

The rolls were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra herbs and spices next time.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my rolls didn't turn out as pretty as the ones in the picture.

I loved the way the summer squash held up in these rolls. It was still slightly crunchy, even after being cooked.

The herbed ricotta was the star of the show in these rolls. It was so creamy and flavorful.

These summer squash rolls were a hit at my last party! The herbed ricotta added a creamy and flavorful touch, while the arugula and toasted hazelnut vinaigrette gave them a nice crunch and brightness. I'll definitely be making these again soon!
