Easy Skinny Lasagna Rolls

This is seriously the easiest meal and is impossible to ruin. I came across a similar recipe at BYU in my food prep class and fell in LOVE. I'm a huge carb lover with a desire to be healthy. Sometimes it's hard to mix the two but this dish makes it happen. Feel free to experiment! These lasagna rolls can be made your own with very simple modifications here and there.  Here's what you'll need:

  • 8 lasagna pasta noodles (wheat or regular) 
  • 10 oz of tomato sauce (whichever kind you prefer... Western Family is 89 cents a can just sayin)
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 15 oz of Ricotta Cheese (low fat or regular depending how "skinny" you want to make them) 
  • Spinach (For spinach lovers go with 10 oz but can be modified down to 5 oz if that's your thing)
  • 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese  

Step 1
         Bring water to a boil and place noodles until soft (takes about 12 mins) Meanwhile, thaw the spinach and finely chop

Step 2
         Preheat oven to 350. Combine Ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese as well as desired amount of spinach in a bowl and set aside. Pour 1/2 of the tomato sauce into the bottom of a glass pan. 

Step 3
         Take pasta out and lay it flat on the counter (preferably on top of plastic wrap or wax paper) Take the cheese mixture and spread evenly over the noodles and roll up. Place the rolls with the crease underneath and place into the glass pan.  

Step 4
         Spread the remaining half of tomato sauce over the rolls so they stay moist through the baking process. Top the rolls of with some mozzarella cheese and bake for 30 minutes. Voila! Easy Peasy!
