Description
Delicious and cheesy spinach roll-ups made with three types of cheese, perfect for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
- 12 lasagna noodles
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 3 cups marinara sauce
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package directions until just tender. Drain and lay them flat on a clean surface so they don’t stick together.
- In a large bowl, combine ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella, Parmesan, spinach, garlic, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Spread about ⅓ cup of the cheese-spinach mixture evenly over each lasagna noodle.
- Starting from one short end, carefully roll each noodle into a tight spiral.
- Spread about 1 cup marinara sauce over the bottom of the baking dish. Arrange the roll-ups seam-side down.
- Spoon the remaining marinara sauce over the tops, then sprinkle with the remaining ½ cup mozzarella.
- Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for another 10–15 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan if desired.
Notes
- Make sure to squeeze out excess moisture from the spinach to prevent a watery filling.
- Feel free to add other vegetables or spices to the cheese mixture for extra flavor.
- These roll-ups can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator before baking.
