In a separate bowl combine ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and seasoning to taste. Add optional pesto sauce if desired.
Preheat oven to 400°
Spread a thin layer of cheese mixture on each zucchini slice. Top with meat mixture. Roll up each zucchini noodle and place spiral side up into the baking dish. Push each new roll up against the others to help keep them rolled up.
Top the rolls with half the mozzarella cheese, cover with remaining meat and sauce… Sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella cheese over roll ups. Bake for 30 minutes until the zucchini is tender and the cheese on top is golden brown and bubbly. Let rest before serving.
