Description
Garlic Butter Lasagna Roll-Ups are a delicious twist on traditional lasagna, featuring rolled noodles filled with a savory ricotta and spinach mixture, all topped with a rich garlic butter sauce.
Ingredients
- 12 lasagna noodles
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 1¼ cups shredded mozzarella, divided
- ½ cup grated Parmesan, divided
- 2 cups fresh spinach, finely chopped
- ¼ cup fresh basil, chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes, optional
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Set oven to 190°C (375°F). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Cook noodles: Boil lasagna noodles in salted water until al dente. Drain and lay them flat immediately so they don’t stick together.
- Make the filling: In a bowl, combine ricotta, ¾ cup mozzarella, ½ cup Parmesan, spinach, basil, eggs, 4 cloves minced garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well.
- Make garlic butter: Melt butter over medium-low heat. Add garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes, just until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Roll: Spread about 2 tablespoons of filling over each noodle. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Add garlic butter: Drizzle half of the garlic butter over the rolls. Sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake another 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted, golden, and bubbly.
- Finish: Drizzle with the remaining garlic butter and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Feel free to add other vegetables to the filling for extra flavor and nutrition.
- For a spicier kick, increase the amount of red pepper flakes.
- These roll-ups can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator before baking.
