Cheesy Lasagna Rolls with Spinach and Ricotta

I made this for Brooke and Travis when they came to Austin on Friday because I thought it would be a safe choice for Travis. Who ended up not even taking one bite!

But it was delicious and Micah, Brooke and I all enjoyed it!

It is a recipe off of the Whole Foods website, and very easy to make.

Ingredients

Salt
1/2 pound (8 to 10) uncooked lasagna noodles
Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 1/2 cups prepared marinara sauce
1 1/2 cups packed baby spinach
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella

Method

Preheat oven to 400°F. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add noodles and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain well and gently transfer to a clean work surface.

Grease a small roasting pan or casserole dish with cooking spray; set aside. Working with one noodle at a time, spread with about 2 tablespoons of the ricotta and 2 tablespoons of the marinara then top with spinach.

Starting at one end, roll up noodle snugly then arrange in pan either seam-side down or with the rolls close enough together to hold each other closed. Pour remaining marinara over assembled rolls then sprinkle with mozzarella and bake until golden and bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes.

I forgot to take an after photo so here is the websites. They must have used regular pasta but I used whole wheat grain lasagna noodles which are wonderful.

Simple, quick, decently nutritious and pretty tasty :)
