Spinach Lasagna Rolls

Well, well well...I am finally back! Sorry guys, but I actually have a life, its called Real Housewives of New Jersey...Besides that, I've been attempting to cook "healthier" dishes, and I've been mehhh about most of them, and I won't blog anything that I do not like, but luckily, tonight's dish was a huge success, considering Daniel (hubs) is a huge meat lover, and this dish is vegetarian friendly, he loved this one. I tweaked it a little to my personal liking, but here it is guysss.


Ingredients: 

  • 9 lasagna noodles, cooked
  • 10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and completely drained
  • 15 oz fat free or low fat ricotta cheese 
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • salt and fresh pepper
  • spaghetti sauce ( I looove Ragu)
  • 9 tbsp (about 3 oz) part skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • Garlic Powder


Start by boiling, your spinach in one pot, and the pasta in another

 

Mean while that boils, set your oven at 350 degrees, and start mixing the rest of the ingredients; egg, ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder


Once lasagna pasta is ready, lay them out on wax paper and let them air dry a bit. Mince the boiled spinach and mix into cheese mixture.


Spread the cheese/spinach mix over the pasta, and roll



In a casserole, add a layer of the spaghetti sauce, and set each roll down over, with the seam side facing down. 


You can now add more sauce over each roll, and top it with a tablespoon of mozzarella cheese.

..Finally bake them in the oven for 40 minutes with a foil cover.


Paired with a small salad, it was perfect!
