Ingredients
  • Chopped onion
  • Garlic, minced
  • Olive oil
  • Tomatoes, cut up (1 can)
  • Tomato paste
  • Snipped fresh basil (or 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, crushed)
  • Sugar
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Noodles
  • Frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • Fat-free or low-fat ricotta cheese
  • Freshly shredded parmesan cheese
  • Snipped fresh basil (or 1/2 teaspoon dried basil or italian seasoning, crushed)
  • Beaten
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. 2
    Cook lasagna noodles in boiling salted water according to package directions until al dente. Drain and lay flat on a clean kitchen towel to cool slightly.
  3. 3
    In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. 4
    Stir in the cut-up tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, salt, pepper, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of fresh basil. Simmer for 5 minutes to thicken the sauce slightly.
  5. 5
    In a large bowl, combine the thawed spinach (squeezed dry), ricotta cheese, 2 tablespoons of parmesan, 2 teaspoons of fresh basil, and the beaten egg white. Mix well.
  6. 6
    Place a generous spoonful of the spinach-ricotta mixture onto each cooked noodle. Roll up tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  7. 7
    Pour the prepared tomato sauce evenly over the roll-ups.
  8. 8
    Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until bubbly and heated through.
  9. 9
    Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with remaining parmesan and fresh basil if desired.
