    These look really good. I’m not on a low-carb diet by any means, but I am looking for ways to reduce my intake of them, and I think this recipe fits nicely. I’m looking forward to making them. Thanks for sharing this recipe with us.

    These were so good! The zucchini I had were a little smaller, so I got a several smaller rolls in order to use up all of the filling. Because of that, I ended up using more sauce (Prego traditional) & cheese to cover them, but these were just delicious and my husband really loved them, too. Definitely will be making these again – thank you for the recipe.
