Ingredients

Filling

  • 7 oz ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup fresh spinach or ~1/3 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
  • 1 egg

Roll Ups

  • 1 box lasagna noodles
  • 1 jar marinara sauce divided
  • 1 lb package ground beef or turkey optional

Instructions

Noodles and Filling

  1. Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions.
  2. Cook ground meat over medium high heat until cooked through. Drain and stir in 1/4 cup of marinara sauce.
  3. If using fresh spinach, saute over medium heat with 1 tsp olive oil until wilted. Drain and chop.
  4. Stir together ingredients for filling.

Roll-Ups

  1. Prepare a clean surface and coat lightly with olive oil or cooking spray. Prepare a container lined with nonstick foil or cooking spray, spread 1/2 of remaining marinara sauce in the base of the container.
  2. Lay 1 noodle flat, spread with ~1T filling and ~1T meat. Roll and place seam side down in the prepared container.
  3. Repeat until noodles and filling are gone.
  4. Spread remaining meat and sauce over top of the roll ups. Cover, refrigerate overnight, and freeze until ready for use.

To Serve

  1. Thaw overnight.
  2. Place desired number of rolls in a pan lined with nonstick foil or cooking spray. Cover and bake at 350°F for 20 minutes, or until cheese is hot and bubbling.

Recipe Notes

When spreading the filling, it helps to keep the filling at least 1" away from both the short edges of the lasagna noodle. This makes for easier rolling!
