Spinach Lasagna Roll Ups

It's Lent season and dinners usually consist of fish, seafood, grilled cheese,  cheese pizza or add veggies, etc. I'm usually okay with eating the same thing all the time but when you aren't supposed to eat something doesn't it always make you want it more?.

I was of course scrolling through Pinterest at random and found these roll ups. Something different and new is always nice. Switch up the meal plan a little bit. I have to say, it seemed like an easy recipe but I really am not a cooker so I was nervous for this one, I took the ingredients over to my mom & dads, and did the cooking. 

Ingredients :

10 oz. spinach

1 large egg

2.5 cups marinara sauce 

1 lb whole wheat lasagna noodles

Sea salt and pepper to taste

1 cup shredded mozzarella 

15 oz. ricotta 

1/4 cup Grated Parmesan cheese

Non stick olive oil spray

The Spinach filling

Directions :

1. Large pot of boiling water. Add the noodles when it comes to a full boil, cook until al dente.drain when done.

2. While the noodles are boiling prepare the filling. Combine the spinach, ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, egg. Mix until well combined.

3. When the noodles and filling are ready to go preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a glass casserole dish by spraying with non stick spray.

4. On a clean surface, lay out a few noodles at a time. Place a few tablespoons of filling on each noodle and spread to cover from edge to edge. The filling does not need to be thick because once the noodle is rolled up, it will be compounded. Make sure to spread it all the way to edges of noodles.

5. Roll the noodles up and place in casserole dish. Ripest until all your filling is gone. We got about 7 out of one batch, but you do have extra noodles in case some split apart. Pour the sauce over the rolled noodles. Cover all surfaces. The sauce keeps the noodles hydrated and soft while baking.

6. Cover the dish in foil and bake for 30 minute. Add additional sauce if needed.

The finished masterpiece

Enjoy!!!!!!
