Ingredients
Method
Brush zucchini with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on greased grill over medium-high heat; grill, uncovered, turning occasionally, until zucchini are tender and grilled-marked, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove to platter; let cool.
Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir together ricotta, Gorgonzola Piccante, almonds and lemon zest (if using). Spoon 1 tsp of the cheese mixture onto narrow end of 1 zucchini slice. Roll up zucchini and secure with toothpick. Repeat with remaining cheese mixture and zucchini. Arrange on platter and serve.
Tip from The Test Kitchen: Assemble and refrigerate these rolls one day ahead. Bring to room temperature before serving.
