Instructions

Follow these steps to prepare your Easy Spinach Lasagna Roll-ups:

Prepare the Noodles

Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Make the Filling

In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, chopped spinach, half of the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Assemble the Roll-ups

Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Lay a noodle flat, add a generous scoop of the filling, and roll it up. Place the roll-up seam-side down in the dish. Repeat for all noodles.

Top with Sauce and Cheese

Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the roll-ups and sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella cheese on top.

Bake

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

Once baked, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Easy Spinach Lasagna Roll-ups!

Storage Instructions

If you have leftovers, store them properly to enjoy the dish again later. Place the roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last for about 3-4 days, but often taste even better the next day as the flavors meld together. When ready to serve, simply reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.

For longer storage, freeze the assembled roll-ups before baking. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place them in a freezer-safe container. They can be stored for up to three months. When you're ready to enjoy, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight and bake as directed for a delicious homemade meal without any hassle.

Customization Options

One of the best features of this recipe is its versatility. Feel free to customize the filling based on your preferences or what you have on hand. You can add cooked chicken, turkey, or even sautéed mushrooms for more flavor and protein. Experimenting with different cheeses, like feta or goat cheese, can also introduce unique flavors.

For a spicy kick, consider adding crushed red pepper flakes to the marinara sauce or incorporating diced jalapeños into the filling. Vegetarian options can be made by increasing the amount of vegetables, such as zucchini or bell peppers. This ensures everyone at your table finds a favorite way to enjoy this delicious meal.
