Peel the zucchini and slice or grate into strips. Heat the olive oil. Dice half an onion and the garlic and sauté in the oil in a pan. Dice any leftover zucchini that can’t be sliced ​​into strips and add to the onions. Sauté with the spinach and season everything with salt, pepper, curry powder, paprika, and Provençal herbs. Slice the tomatoes and mozzarella. For the sauce, finely chop the second half of the onion and sauté in olive oil in a separate pan. Deglaze with the tomatoes and season. Add the soy cream and sauté briefly. Add a little cayenne pepper, if desired. Preheat the oven to 200°C (top/bottom heat). Top each zucchini strip with a slice of tomato and a slice of mozzarella. Spread with the spinach filling and roll up. Secure with a toothpick. Stir any leftover filling into the sauce. Spread the tomato sauce in a baking dish, place the zucchini rolls upright, and sprinkle with cheese. Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack for 30 minutes.
