Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 10 lasagna noodles
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/3 cup diced onion
- 2 clove garlic minced
- 1 bunch fresh spinach chopped, or 10 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- 1 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 2/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 large egg beaten
- Salt and pepper
- 2 cup marinara sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions. Drain and lay noodles on a baking sheet in order to keep them from sticking together.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil over medium. Add onions and cook until softened, 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook an additional minute. Add the greens and cook until wilted, 5-10 minutes, depending on variety of green used. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta, half the mozzarella, egg, salt, and pepper. Stir in the greens mixture.
- Spread 1/2 cup marinara sauce in the bottom of an 11x7-inch casserole pan.
- Assemble the rolls by spreading about 1/4 cup of the cheese mixture, leaving an inch at the end. Roll up pasta, ending with the uncovered edge.
- Place each roll in the casserole pan with the seam on the bottom. Continue until all noodles are rolled.
- Pour remaining pasta sauce over rolls, then sprinkle with remaining mozzarella. Cover with foil.
- Bake for 25-35 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly. Let cool 5-10 minutes before serving.
