Spinach and Ricotta Lasagna Roll Ups

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. 2

   Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Salt the water generously, then add the lasagna noodles. Boil until just al dente-firm enough to hold but pliable enough to roll without breaking. Drain and set aside, tossing gently with a little oil if needed to prevent sticking.

3. 3

   While the noodles cook, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, combine the well-drained spinach, ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, salt, and pepper. Stir until the mixture is uniform.

4. 4

   Lay out a few noodles on a clean surface. Spread approximately a heaping 1/4 cup of the spinach and cheese filling evenly over each noodle, extending the filling edge to edge but keeping it thin to avoid tearing.

5. 5

   Carefully roll each noodle into a tight cylinder and place seam-side down in a large casserole dish. Repeat until all filling and noodles are used, aiming for 16 rolls. Reserve any extra noodles to layer at the bottom of the dish if desired.

6. 6

   Pour the pasta sauce evenly over the assembled roll ups.

7. 7

   Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.

8. 8

   Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is melted and golden.
