Using a spoon, spoon some more sauce on top of the zucchini rolls and top with mozzarella cheese.

I just LOVE you, Dimitra! Keep the videos coming in. I'm preparing to be a wife-- and I need some help in the kitchen department lol. You're already a wife, and your food looks DELICIOUS, so I trust your cooking skills. Thank you, for teaching me how to cook😘
I love doing this recipe. Sometimes I replace the marinara sauce with bolognese sauce if I have some extra from another recipe or a combination of both, depending on what I have in the fridge. I lay them flat, lasagne style, but I keep portions separate, each portion will have two lengths of zucchini with filling in between and on top. That way it's very easy to portion out onto plates later. I've tried it with eggplant too and it's delicious. I've even done it with pre-fried minute steak slices instead of the vegetables - there's no beating the feta-spinach combination. And you can sneak in other vegetables too.
Easy and delicious recipe, thanks. Your daughter is precious.
Oh thank you!

Greetings from Australia
Betty 🇬🇷🇦🇺❤️🥰
My pleasure 😊 Thanks os much for being here, Betty
I'm in heaven
Teach em young. That is how I learned.
ohhh yum these look soooo good !! drool haah
Sosta ayapi mou ... po po po is right. Looks delicious.
I as well use Canadian feta for fillings. Save the good quality Greek feta for salads and and plating at the table.
Yummy
I always use cream cheese in Spanakopita. I learned that from my mother.
I'm so late to this party! haha! It works so well and the flavors go together perfectly. I hope that you enjoy this recipe :)
I love how fast you talk. You cover a lot of ground quickly! Have your kids do the dishes. You cooked!
❤
Dimitra, could I use ricotta cheese instead of cream cheese for the filling? Just wondering.
Omg your baby girl is so big and beautiful ,where did the time go ,I remember you pregnant with her and teaching us your yummy recipies .
I agree with you wholeheartedly about cheese! Who measures??!
Fo real!! haha
@@DimitrasDishes Any more recipes with spinach and feta? As many as you want to make, I'll watch and try to make!
Have you substituted Pot Cheese? Sour Cream? Ricotta? Goat Cheese? Mizithra?
**Also, do you have a recipe for "stuffed Kolokithopoulia"? (stuffed zucchinni flowers)?
I use ricotta and cream cheese most of the time. I've never tried the other cheeses but I know that mizithra would be great. Mizithra is so hard to find in Houston so, whenever I have some I use it in traditional Cretan recipes :)
product for mandolin please
Made this for dinner, it was amazing but mine was too salty, less salt next time
Dimitra could teach us, but she'd have to charge.
your daughter is beautiful
You blink alot
Don’t talk so much
Only the *Agoge diet* worked for me, I lost so much fat and feel great. Keto just made me tired.
I can’t do the keto lifestyle either…
