Spinach Lasagna Rolls (Healthy Version)
Thursday, April 21, 2011

The ingredients:

10 lasagna noodles, cooked (this includes one extra, in case one breaks or something)
1 pkg. (10-ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and completely drained
15 oz. fat free ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
salt and fresh pepper
1 jar spaghetti sauce
3/4 cup part skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
Directions: Preheat oven to 350°. Combine spinach, ricotta, Parmesan, egg, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Ladle about 1 cup sauce on the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish.


Place a piece of wax paper on the counter and lay out lasagna noodles. Make sure noodles are dry. Take 1/3 cup of ricotta mixture and spread evenly over noodle. Roll carefully and place seam side down onto the baking dish. Repeat with remaining noodles.




Ladle sauce over the noodles in the baking dish and top each one with 1 tablespoon mozzarella cheese.


Put foil over baking dish and bake for 40 minutes, or until cheese melts. Makes 9 rolls. (I made a 1-1/2 batch for my family).


To serve, ladle a little sauce on the plate and top with lasagna roll. Enjoy!

I made something just like this from an AllRecipes.com recipe awhile back and thought they were so good!! I had to make it when hubby was out of the house though, because the man hates spinach - the party pooper. I think these are so good, and I love the individual pre-portioned sizes! :)
i'm going to forward this to my friend because i'm pretty sure we're going to eat this for lunch together. my husband won't eat spinach but i love it, and these look awesome!
Yummy, I love roll lasagna!! I bet this would be tasty with alfredo sauce, also
My sister made something similar, several years back, and I somehow forgot about them, until I just saw your recipe! (How, I don't know, as they were fabulous!) I'm a huge fan of spinach and think this actually may be something my husband would try, as long as I substitute cottage cheese for the ricotta. (One of those ingredients that he has himself convinced he won't like!)
Now that both my favorite recipe blogs have featured this, I have no excuse not to try it myself!
I've made something similar to this and we loved it! Yours turned out beautifully :)
Ooo I keep seeing this take on lasagne. I have to try it!
How well do they hold together? I imagine there is no chance of picking one up?
Nicely fit in a lunchbox though... Hmm
*adds to list*
