Spinach Lasagna Roll Ups
Description
Spinach Lasagna Roll Ups combine cooked lasagna noodles filled with a creamy mixture of ricotta cheese, well-drained spinach, Parmesan cheese, and egg to bind, seasoned simply with salt and pepper. Rolled neatly, the noodles are placed seam-side down in a baking dish layered with homemade marinara sauce. Topped with additional sauce and a sprinkling of mozzarella, they bake covered until the cheese melts and bubbles gently.
The result is a tender pasta roll with a smooth, cheesy spinach center contrasted by the slightly tangy tomato sauce. This method focuses on individual servings that maintain their structure, allowing for easy plating and portion control.
To serve, place a little warmed marinara sauce on each plate and top with a roll up. These can be served as a main dish with a simple salad or steamed vegetables for a well-rounded meal.
