Description

These Lasagne Rollups offer a clever twist on the classic Italian comfort food, presenting individual portions that are as visually appealing as they are delicious. Each roll is filled with a creamy mixture of ricotta, mozzarella, and seasoned spinach, then nestled in a savory tomato sauce. The dish maintains the beloved flavors of traditional lasagna but with a convenient, single-serving format that eliminates the need for cutting layers. Perfect for weeknight dinners or potlucks, these rollups bake until bubbly and golden. They are easy to assemble and can be frozen for busy nights. A satisfying meal that brings home-style warmth to your table without the fuss of layering a full casserole dish.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC).
  2. Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions until al dente.
  3. Drain noodles and lay them flat on a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
  4. In a bowl, mix together ricotta cheese, grated mozzarella, grated Italian cheese blend, cooked and drained frozen spinach, egg, salt, and pepper.
  5. Spread a layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a rectangular baking dish.
  6. Place a generous amount of the cheese mixture along the length of each noodle, leaving a 1-inch border at each end.
  7. Gently roll up each noodle, keeping the filling inside.
  8. Place the roll-ups side by side in the prepared baking dish.
  9. Pour remaining marinara sauce over the roll-ups to partially cover them.
  10. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  11. Bake for 45 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
