Creamy Spinach Lasagna Rollups
I'm sure you've seen a lot of spinach rollup recipes, but I decided to use one of my favorite mixtures for lasagna in this dish so it's nice and creamy.

Total Time:
35 minutes
Ingredients
2-3 tbs olive oil
1/2 onion, diced
3 tbs garlic, minced
1 tsp red pepper flakes
6 oz spinach
1 cup ricotta
1 cup small curd cottage cheese
1 egg
salt and pepper to taste
1 tbs parsley
2 tbs spinach and herb seasoning
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
7 lasagna noodles, cooked
approx 4 cups marinara
zest of one lemon
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Recipe
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the lasagna noodles
- Heat up olive oil in a skillet and sauté onion and garlic (approx 4 min, stirring occasionally)
- Add red pepper flakes and spinach and toss with tongs occasionally as the spinach begins to cook and wilt. Do not overcook.
- In a separate bowl, mix together ricotta, cottage cheese, egg, salt and pepper, parsley, spinach and herb seasoning and parmesan cheese
- To assemble, lay a single lasagna noodle down and spread a spoonful of the ricotta mixture down the middle of the noodle, followed my a spoonful of marinara, a little bit of spinach, sprinkle mozzarella cheese and add a little bit of lemon zest (see below picture of how this looks) then roll it up longways, repeat for all 7 noodles
- In a small casserole dish, spread a spoonful of marinara on the bottom and then begin placing the rollups in the dish. Once all rollups are in, spoon some marinara overtop, sprinkle mozzarella cheese and lemon zest
- Bake for 20-25 minutes (until cheese is melted)
