My husband LOVES lasagna. I avoid it at all costs because I like to watch my weight. So we came up with a nice compromise (which also happened to be a quick and easy recipe).
Lasagna Roll Up
Ingredients:
- lasagna noodles
- 10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed & drained
- 15 oz fat free ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 32 oz tomato sauce
- hot sauce to taste (I like to use Sriracha)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup shredded skim mozzarella cheese
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook your lasagna noodles and then dry them.
In a bowl, combine spinach, ricotta, parmesan, 1/4 mozzarella cheese, egg, salt and pepper.
Place a piece of wax paper or cutting board on the counter and lay out your cooked lasagnas noodles on top. Take a spoonful of the spinach ricotta mixture and spread it evenly over the noodle.
Carefully roll the noodle.
Ladle (or as I do, pour and spread) some tomato sauce on the bottom of your baking dish and place each rolled up noodle in the dish seam side down.
Spread more tomato sauce on top of the lasagnas rolls, add a little hot sauce and sprinkle the top with mozzarella cheese. Bake in the oven for 40 minutes or until the cheese melts.
Take your serving plate and place some sauce in the center. Decorate with hot sauce. Top with two lasagna rolls.
