Yield: About 30 rolls

Ingredients:

3 large zucchinis, trimmed

7.5 ounce-tub of onion chive-flavored, reduced fat, spreadable cream cheese

½ cup torn fresh basil

4-ounce jar of drained, diced, sun dried tomatoes

1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese

1 clove grated garlic

1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning

1 tsp ground pepper

Directions:

1. Using a vegetable peeler, slice zucchini into very thin strips that run the full length and width of the zucchini.
2. After slicing about five strips, flip the zucchini over and slice another five strips from the other side. This will ensure more uniform strips.
3. Combine cream cheese, basil, sun dried tomatoes, parmesan, garlic, Italian seasoning, and pepper in a medium bowl. Spread 2 teaspoons of the mixture over each zucchini strip. Roll up the strips and secure with tooth picks if needed.
