Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Brush both sides of the zucchini slices with olive oil, season lightly with salt and pepper, and bake them for 10 minutes.
3. Make the filling: warm the garlic in olive oil for a few seconds, then cook the spinach, stirring often, until wilted.
4. Season with salt and pepper, take off the heat, and stir in the dill.
5. Add the cream cheese and stir until it melts into the spinach, then crumble in the feta and mix. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
6. Make the sauce: cook the onion in olive oil over medium heat until soft and golden, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic for a few seconds, then the tomatoes, salt, pepper and sugar.
7. Bring to a boil, reduce to medium and cook until thickened, about 10 minutes. Adjust the seasoning, take off the heat and stir in the oregano. Set aside.
8. Spread a tablespoon of filling on each zucchini slice and roll up.
9. Spread 2-3 cups of the sauce in a 9 by 13-inch baking pan. Place the rolls on top, spoon more sauce over them and sprinkle with mozzarella.
10. Bake on the center rack for 20-25 minutes, turning on the broiler for the last 4-5 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and browned.
11. Let the rolls rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving so they set.
