Lasagna Roll Ups

Ingredients

  • spaghetti sauce (your choice)
  • 1 lb mozzarella cheese
  • 15 ounces ricotta cheese
  • parmesan cheese
  • 1 (16 ounce) bag frozen spinach, rinsed and squeezed out
  • 1 egg
  • lasagna noodle

Method

  1. Cook the lasagna noodles for approximately 2-5 minutes less than the package directs to make them easier to handle, then combine all filling components in a bowl.
  2. Mix the grated mozzarella, ricotta cheese, thawed and squeezed spinach, and the egg together.
  3. Incorporate a quantity of Parmesan cheese into the mixture.
  4. Lay the cooked noodles flat and distribute the cheese filling evenly over each one.
  5. Spoon a layer of spaghetti sauce over the cheese mixture.
  6. Roll each noodle up and position them seam-side down in a 13 x 9 inch baking dish, repeating until the dish is full, which accommodates roughly 12 rolls.
  7. Cover the assembled rolls with additional sauce and a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.
  8. These roll ups freeze well for individual meals, as they are simple to handle and store separately.
  9. There is no need to repeatedly reheat an entire tray of lasagna.
  10. Serving is also more straightforward with individual portions.
  11. The provided quantities are suitable for one family dinner.
  12. For advance preparation, avoid adding sauce to the pan's base until you are ready to bake.
  13. You can freeze the roll ups individually using a flash-freezing technique.
  14. Place the assembled rolls on a tray and freeze them for 15 minute.
  15. Transfer the frozen rolls to a freezer bag or another suitable container.
  16. When ready to bake, remove the required number of roll ups and your sauce.
  17. Spread sauce in the baking dish, add the roll ups seam-side down, top with more sauce and cheese, and bake at 350 for 30 min if thawed, or until the cheese has melted.
