Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 lasagna noodles
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese divided
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cups chopped fresh spinach
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 cups marinara sauce
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and lay them flat on parchment paper.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, spinach, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well mixed.
  4. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce over the bottom of the baking dish.
  5. Spread about 3 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture evenly over each cooked lasagna noodle.
  6. Roll each noodle tightly and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  7. Pour the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the roll ups.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top.
  9. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  10. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
  11. Let the lasagna roll ups rest for 10 minutes before serving.
  12. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes

  • Cook the noodles just until al dente to prevent tearing.
  • Cover with foil for the first part of baking to keep the cheese from over-browning.
  • Let the dish rest before serving for easier serving.
  • Fresh spinach can be replaced with thawed frozen spinach that has been squeezed dry.
  • Use your favorite homemade or store-bought marinara sauce.
