Servings: 4 people

Ingredients

  • 2 zucchinis
  • 1 teaspoon diamond kosher crystal salt

Filling:

  • 1 cup skim ricotta
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh bail chopped
  • 2 teaspoons In Emily’s Kitchen Signature Spice
  • 1 egg

Turkey Bolognese Sauce:

  • 1 white onion - chopped
  • 3 stalks of celery - chopped
  • 2 carrots - chopped
  • 2 teaspoons In Emily’s Kitchen Signature Spice
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 4 cloves of garlic - chopped
  • 1/3 cup dry red wine
  • 1 28 oz can of crushed tomato
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 3 teaspoons diamond kosher crystal salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Topping:

  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 4 slices fresh mozzarella cut into fourths
  • Fresh basil

Instructions

  • First, start your turkey bolognese. In a dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add in your chopped onion, celery and carrot. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 2 teaspoon IEK Signature Spice.
  • Cook on medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring every few minutes. After 15 minutes add in the ground turkey and increase heat to medium high.
  • Season the turkey meat with 1 teaspoon of salt. Brown the turkey meat with the vegetables for 15 minutes.
  • Next add in the chopped garlic and tomato paste. Incorporate into the turkey for 3-4 minutes.
  • Then deglaze with red wine. Let the wine cook out for 2 minutes.
  • Add in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth. Season with 1 teaspoon salt. Stir and lower heat to simmer. Allow to simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  • As it simmers, mandolin or slice your zucchini so they are long, thin and flat. Place them over paper towels and season with 1 teaspoon of salt. This will help dry out the water in the zucchini and also make it easy to roll!
  • Now mix the ricotta mixture together. Add all ingredients into a bowl and mix until incorporated.

Time to build our rolled lasagna!

  • Pour 3 cups of turkey bolognese into a large baking dish.
  • Start to roll the zucchini.
  • Take a dollop of the ricotta mixture and place it and the end of the zucchini closest to you. Start to roll it up away from you. Place the rolled zucchini in the baking dish filled with the turkey bolognese so its standing up. Repeat until all zucchinis have been rolled.
  • Top the zucchini in the baking dish with the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  • Pop into the oven for 20 minutes at 400º

Notes

Top with a little fresh basil before serving. Wait 10 minutes before serving to allow it to cool a little and for the juice to be absorbed! With love + salt, Emily

When pruning African Basil 🌿 ➡️ become a sweet🌸 little arrangement for my mama!

I try to make the most use out of the plants that I prune. African Basil produces these beautiful little purple flower when it’s overgrown. It’s the perfect pretty solution when it’s time to prune your plants!

Instagram post 17972561185345573 ✨K I T C H E N: Garlicky Roasted Tomatoes 🍅 and White Beans 🤍.
•**SAVE THIS POST**!
Remember those moody aromatic beans I made last week? Well here’s a recipe using them! It’s a cold and rainy in LA so I figured it was the perfect time to share this cozy dish. You could enjoy it as a stew or as an appetizer!
•
✨Garlicky Roasted Tomato & White Beans✨:
6-8 cocktail tomatoes (cocktail tomatoes are larger than cherry tomatoes but smaller than normal tomatoes. You can find them at any grocery store!) 
¾ cup olive oil
4 cloves of garlic
1 teaspoon salt
2-3 cups cooked or drained canned white beans **(I used my brothy white beans so there was more liquid! If using canned, feel free to add 2-3 cups of water or chicken broth! If the beans are fresh use 1-2 cups of the broth!)
1 whole lemon peeled and cut into small pieces
Lemon zest ( zest the lemon before peeling)
½ cup parmesan cheese
4-6 anchovies
1 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional)
Toast for dipping
•
Heat oven to 400º. In a baking dish, add the tomatoes, olive oil, garlic cloves and salt.
•
Roast the tomatoes for 35-40 minutes then allow them to cool for 10 minutes. 
•
Place a large saucepan or a @lecreuset Dutch oven on medium high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil from the tomatoes and the 4 cloves of garlic. Save the rest of the oil for another time or drizzling at the end!
•
Using a wooden spoon, smash the garlic into the pan. Then add in the anchovies and chili flakes  and crush them using the wooden spoon. They should gently melt into the olive oil.
•
Once anchovies have incorporated into the olive oil, add the roasted tomatoes. Crush the tomatoes.
•
Next add in the white beans, broth, the whole lemon and half of the parmesan cheese. Stir together and then place back into the oven at 350º for 20 minutes. I actually poured my beans back into a baking dish to make it a fun snack for MJ and me! 
•
Pull the beans out of the oven and top with the remaining Parmesan cheese and lemon zest. Drizzle a little of the tomato garlic olive oil on top to be EXTRA ~~!
•
Serve with crispy bread for dipping!

It’s been awhile since I checked in so I just wanted to say hello! 2021 feels like it’s finally starting to get into the swing of things and I feel really good about this new year ✨.

If you’re new, I’m Emily! I love cooking and helping others in the kitchen. I created my own line of authentic spice blends to assist the everyday cook in their kitchen and bring some boldness to their food! I have a passion for home entertaining and just creating a really lovely space in the place you spend the most time. I feel like food and cooking is so connected to your love for others, treating your home as a little sanctuary and making a wonderful life for yourself and the people around you. I have to admit... I REALLY miss throwing parties, hosting and making lots of food for lots of people! 🤞🏼 we can get back to that in 2021! Until then, I’m really enjoying my current company: 🧔🏽MJ, 🐶 Nala and Lucy 🐾 .

🦋In the next few weeks I’ll be rolling out some more fun additions to help make our homes feel even 🥧cozier, spicier✨ and more 💐beautiful!

How it’s started👉🏼How it’s going! Things are moving along nicely! So far we’ve: removed the countertops, backsplash, sink, faucet, microwave and cabinets! The new farmhouse sink is going in today and then hopefully backsplash will start moving in... but surprise! We’re picking ANOTHER backsplash (hopefully today). The goal is to have the kitchen done in 2ish weeks. Ambitious... but I think we could still do it!

More today on backsplash tile!
