Lasagna Roll-Ups
Ingredients
- Italian Chicken Sausage, (2 links) casings removed
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
- 4 cups fresh baby spinach
- 2 cups ricotta cheese, skim
- 4 cups jarred marinara sauce
- 1 egg, whipped
- 6 lasagna noodles, cooked
- 1 tbsp garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp EVOO
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- Italian seasoning
- salt & pepper
Instructions
- Begin by pre-heating the oven to 375 degrees.
- Next heat EVOO and garlic over medium heat. As soon as garlic becomes fragrant, add chicken sausage and tomatoes. Break sausage apart into small pieces as it browns, about 3-4 minutes.
- Once sausage is browned, add spinach. Season with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Stir and combine with sausage mixture. Remove from heat once spinach is cooked and mostly wilted.
- Combine sausage mixture with ricotta in a large mixing bowl. Stir in whipped egg and remaining Italian seasoning.
- Pour 2 cups of marinara sauce to cover the bottom of your baking dish.
- Start creating roll-ups by spooning 1-2 (large) tablespoons of the ricotta mixture onto each cooked lasagna noodle. Then starting at one end, begin rolling lasagna noodle up until it looks like a pinwheel. Place roll-up on top of marinara sauce in the baking dish. Repeat this with all 6 lasagna noodles.
- Cover roll-ups with remaining marinara sauce. Top with parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese and Italian seasoning . Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and finish baking for 5-10 minutes, or until sauce is bubbly and cheese is melted.
