Lasagna Roll-Ups



Such a fun twist to lasagna.  Plus, I think this recipe is a ton easier than most lasagna recipes and I love the Spinach instead of ground beef.  


You just cook the noodles, lay them out, add the put-together spinach and cheese mixture, roll them up, spread some sauce and cheese on top, cook and ENJOY!


Serve with some salad and garlic bread on the side and bam - I love this dinner.



Lasagna Roll-ups
Yield: 9 Lasagna rolls

Ingredients
9 lasagna noodles, cooked, drained and patted dry
10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
15 oz ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
1 egg
salt and freshly ground pepper
2/3 of a 24 oz jar spaghetti sauce
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Spoon about one cup of spaghetti sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine spinach, ricotta, parmesan, egg, salt and pepper.

Place a piece of parchment paper on the counter and lay out cooked and dried lasagna noodles on the paper.  Spread about 1/3 cup of ricotta mixture evenly over noodle.  Carefully roll noodle and place seam side down into the baking dish.  Repeat with remaining lasagna noodles.

Pour remaining spaghetti sauce over the noodles in the baking dish.  Add more sauce from the jar if you'd like more sauce.  Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top and a little more parmesan if you'd like.  Put foil over the baking dish and bake for 40 minutes, or until cheese melts.  Allow to rest 5-10 minutes before serving.
