Easy vegetarian lasagna roll ups filled with spinach and ricotta, baked in a simple marinara sauce. A perfect family-friendly meatless meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 lasagna noodles
  • 15 oz ricotta cheese
  • 10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 24 oz marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, squeezed spinach, egg, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Spread about 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly over the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  5. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture evenly over each cooked lasagna noodle.
  6. Carefully roll up each noodle and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  7. Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the top of the rolls.
  8. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and additional Parmesan cheese.
  9. Cover the dish with foil.
  10. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a different flavor, add sautéed mushrooms or finely diced zucchini to the ricotta mixture.
  • To keep rolls intact, ensure noodles are cooked al dente and roll them tightly but gently.
  • These can be assembled up to a day ahead, covered, and refrigerated before baking. Add a few extra minutes to the covered baking time if baking from cold.
  • To freeze, assemble the roll-ups in a freezer-safe dish, cover tightly, and freeze. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking as directed.
