Rolled & Ready: Spinach Lasagna Rolls with Ricotta & Marinara
These delightful spinach lasagna rolls are an easy-to-serve twist on traditional lasagna. Creamy ricotta, savory spinach, and melty mozzarella are bundled into tender pasta sheets, topped with marinara, and baked to perfection.

🛒 Ingredients (Servings: 4–6)
- 8–10 cooked lasagna noodles
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 10 oz fresh spinach (or frozen, thawed and squeezed dry)
- 1½ cups ricotta cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Optional: red pepper flakes or fresh basil for garnish
🍳 Instructions:
1️⃣ Prep the Noodles:
🍝 Boil lasagna noodles in salted water until al dente. Drain and lay flat on a parchment-lined surface to cool.
2️⃣ Sauté the Spinach:
🥬 Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in spinach and sauté until wilted (or heated through if using frozen). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3️⃣ Make the Filling:
🧀 In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta, Parmesan, egg, salt, pepper, and the sautéed spinach. Mix until fully incorporated.
4️⃣ Assemble the Rolls:
🌀 Spread a spoonful of filling across each noodle. Roll tightly from one end to the other and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.

5️⃣ Add Sauce and Cheese:
🍅 Spoon marinara sauce over the rolls and top with shredded mozzarella.
6️⃣ Bake:
🔥 Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
7️⃣ Serve:
🌿 Garnish with basil or a pinch of red pepper flakes and serve warm.
