Servings: servings
Ingredients
- 1 (1-pound) box lasagna noodles, cooked to al dente according to package instructions
- 1 (15-ounce) container ricotta cheese
- 1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- salt, to taste
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 (24-ounce) jar marinara sauce
- 1 (8-ounce) package fresh mozzarella cheese, or 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375℉. Boil the lasagna sheetsto al denta according to the directions on the package, taking care not to overcook.
- While the lasagna is cooking, prepare the filling by mixing together the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, and Italian seasoning. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. If making individual servings, also prepare 18 ramekins by adding a heaping tablespoon of marinara sauce to each one and arranging them all on two rimmed baking sheets.
- Drain the lasagne well and lay 18 sheets out flat. Spread about three tablespoons of the ricotta filling on each sheet from end to end. Carefully roll and place each lasagna roll up seam side down in a prepared ramekin. Repeat with remaining lasagne sheets, one per ramekin.
- Spoon another tablespoon of marinara sauce over the top of each roll up and lay a slice of fresh mozzarella over the top. If you're using shredded mozzarella cheese instead, sprinkle a tablespoon on top of each.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly.
Recipe Notes
- This recipe can also be prepared in a 9x13" baking dish. Spread half the jar of marinara sauce in the bottom of the dish, lay the rollups out, then top with the remaining marinara and cheese. Bake for 30 minutes until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly.
- Make this recipe up to one day ahead and bake as needed, or prepare and freeze to bake in the future. Add additional cooking time if baking from frozen state.
