Ingredients

Scale

For the Lasagna Rolls:

  • 810 lasagna noodles, cooked al dente
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms (button, cremini, or a mix)
  • 4 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Lasagna Rolls:

    • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
    • Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain, then lay them flat on a sheet of parchment paper or foil to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Filling:

    • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
    • Add the garlic and mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the mushrooms are browned and tender.
    • Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  3. Make the Ricotta Mixture:

    • In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, egg, and the mushroom-spinach mixture. Stir until well combined and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Assemble the Lasagna Rolls:

    • Spread about 2-3 tablespoons of the ricotta filling along each lasagna noodle. Roll up each noodle tightly and place the roll seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Bake:

    • Pour marinara sauce over the lasagna rolls, covering them completely. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese on top.
    • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. For extra golden cheese, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
  6. Serve:

    • Let the lasagna rolls rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra Parmesan or fresh basil if desired.

Notes

  • You can make the filling ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 1 day before assembling the rolls.
  • For added flavor, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the filling or marinara sauce.
  • You can substitute ricotta with cottage cheese for a lighter version.
