Lasagna Rolls


I have discovered a new tasty recipe for my family; Lasagna Rolls. They are pretty yummy and not hard to make. They are not the quickest things to make, but definitely stress free when it comes to the shopping and making of them.
.
All you need is...
.
1 Package of lasagna noodles
2 Cups mozzarella
1 (15 ounce) Ricotta Cheese
1 (8-10 ounces) thawed and chopped spinach
1 (28 ounce) Pasta Sauce Jar
1 TBS Oregano
1 1/2 tsp Basil
Salt & Pepper
1/2 small onion

1. Cook noodles till they are almost done, then drain and set aside

2. In large bowl mix together mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, chopped spinach, onions, oregano, basil, some salt and pepper (salt & pep to your taste)

3. Lay out noodle flat and spread a thin layer of cheese mixture evenly. Then spread a thin layer of pasta sauce. Roll noodle up and place in pan (9x13), seem down.
.
4. When all noodles are rolled in pan, sprinkle salt over the bare noodles. Then top the remaining pasta sauce over the noodles. If you have any cheese mixture left over, plop a little dab on each noodle. I always like to sprinkle any left over mozzarella cheese too.
.
5. Bake in oven at 350* for 30 mins or until hot an bubbly.
.
.
P.S. I didn't have 2 cups of mozzarella when I made this. I only had about 1 cup, but it still tasted great! It was only my husband and I who ate this, but it seems to feed 6 people pretty good, especially if you have a salad or bread with dinner.

  1. If it feeds 6 people & it was only the two of you I should imagine that you ate pretty well! Sounds delicious, we might have to give this one a go.

  7. You are so awesome. Sadly, boiling lasagna noodles is not a talent I posess. I can always boil up a big sticky mass of noodles but it is never good for anything but dumping sauce on and calling a bloody octopus.

  17. Mmmmm, my mom made this for years but used chopped broccoli (frozen) in place of spinach. It is a great meal! A little messy to make but lasts a long time and is very filling.

  19. That looks yummy. I might have to try and make them. Although I'm a big fan of the lasagna noodles that you don't have to boil before hand.

  23. I have a recipe I am trying this week for something similar with pepperoni to make it like pizza. Your version sounds fab and I will be trying it out one day soon! Thanks!

  24. Made em Sunday. I had everything and there you were, so I did. They were simple and good. Thanks

  25. that looks sooooo yuuuummmy!! I have made a similar recipe in the past which is even easier . . .same idea but using frozen cheese ravioli, frozen thawed spinach, grated cheese, sauce . . layer as you like (I add ground meat). It's a great, quick meal to have at home or send to a new mom as you can have ingredients on hand and throw together at a moments notice. The disposable baking pans are a great thing to have on hand too.

  26. YUM! I love lasagna and have never tried making something like this. Actually I just love all types of pasta/Italian food. Oh and cheese. Oh and red wine. It's a wonder I don't weigh 400 pounds.

    I'll have to try this recipe.

    Thanks!

  27. I've made lasagna rolls before, using a recipe from Giada De Laurentiis.

    Her tip is to add just a tiny bit of olive oil (1-2 tbsp) to the water when you're boiling the lasagna noodles - they won't stick together, and they're much easier to work with.

  28. yummy look what a good cook you are. You even made a cute presentation with the dab of cheese on the top of each one. Your my kind of girl. I'll be trying this one.

  31. Wow, these look stunning!

    awesome blog, you guys have a cute little family!

  32. I have a recipie very similar to this but I use the big pasta shells and stuff them. One good thing about the shells is I never boil them first they cook as I bake it.
