Ingredients
Scale
Gathering the right ingredients is like preparing the canvas for a painting. Here’s what you’ll need to create these delightful rolls:
- 12 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
For a little twist, you can substitute kale for spinach or use a different cheese blend if you prefer. The key is to use ingredients that speak to you and make cooking feel like a joyful process.
Instructions
Let’s get rolling! Follow these simple steps to bring this dish to life:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a bowl, mix together ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, chopped spinach, garlic powder, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. This filling should be creamy and well combined.
- Lay each cooked lasagna noodle flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous scoop of the ricotta mixture evenly over each noodle.
- Roll up each noodle from one end to the other. Place the rolls seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour marinara sauce over the top of the rolls, ensuring they’re well covered to keep them moist during baking.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the sauce-covered rolls.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Pro tip from my kitchen: If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding some cooked sausage to the filling for an extra layer of flavor.
