Preheat the oven to 180°C. Add margarine and olive oil to a skillet and cook the onion, garlic, carrot, celery, mushrooms, and tomato until the vegetables release their juice. Add the tomato puree, vegetable broth, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper and cook until thickened. Set aside. On a cutting board, use a peeler to slice the zucchini into strips. With a knife, cut the zucchini into moderately thick slices lengthwise. In a baking dish, place a layer of zucchini slices, cover with tomato sauce, and sprinkle with manchego cheese. Repeat the process until the dish is full, finishing with tomato sauce, grated cheese, and arrange the zucchini strips in a roll shape. Bake for 20 minutes, remove from the oven, and garnish with fresh basil.
