Recipe: Healthy Spinach Lasagna Rolls

This recipe has become a favorite of mine and Brian's, and since it's yummy AND healthy, I tend to make it a lot. Since it's just the two of us, we don't have to buy a ton of cheese so it's not too expensive. I loveeeee Italian food, more specifically, CHEESE lasagna, CHEESE ravioli, CHEESE stuffed shells, and these :) They're easy and relatively quick to make. I found the recipe on Pinterest, but it's from www.skinnytaste.com.


Ingredients:

• 9-10 lasagna noodles, cooked (I like the oven ready noodles because they take less time to cook!)
• 10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and completely drained
• 15 oz fat free ricotta cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large egg
• salt and pepper
• 2 cups red spaghetti sauce
• 9 tbsp part skim mozzarella cheese, shredded

Directions: 

Preheat oven to 350°. Combine spinach, ricotta, Parmesan, egg, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Ladle about 1 cup sauce on the bottom of a 9 x 12 baking dish.

Place a piece of wax paper on the counter and lay out lasagna noodles. Make sure noodles are dry. Take 1/3 cup of ricotta mixture and spread evenly over noodle. Roll carefully and place seam side down onto the baking dish. Repeat with remaining noodles.

Ladle sauce over the noodles in the baking dish and top each one with 1 tbsp mozzarella cheese. Put foil over baking dish and bake for 30 minutes.
