Equipment

  • Large pot To cook lasagna noodles
  • Large Skillet To sauté spinach and aromatics
  • Baking Dish To bake the assembled rolls

Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces lasagna noodles cooked until pliable
  • 10 ounces fresh spinach washed and chopped
  • 4 ounces goat cheese softened
  • 15 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella divided
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 cups marinara sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup fresh basil or parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions until just tender. Drain and lay flat on a clean kitchen towel.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Sauté chopped onion and minced garlic until soft and fragrant.
  • Add chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted. Drain any excess moisture and let cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cooked spinach mixture, softened goat cheese, ricotta, beaten egg, Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
  • Spread about ⅓ cup of the filling evenly over each lasagna noodle. Roll each noodle tightly.
  • Spread half of the marinara sauce in a baking dish. Arrange the rolls seam side down in the dish. Pour remaining sauce over the rolls.
  • Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the top. Cover the dish with foil and bake at 375°F for 25 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
  • Let the dish rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure to squeeze out excess water from spinach to avoid soggy filling.
  • Use fresh goat cheese for best texture and flavor.
  • Leftovers reheat well in the oven covered with foil.
