How do you make lasagna roll ups?
Lasagna roll ups are a great way to make lasagna that takes less time and are easier to eat. When making spinach lasagna roll ups, each roll is its own serving size which makes creating portion-controlled plates that much easier. You will cook your noodles the same as if you are making lasagna, but instead of creating layers with the noodles and filling, you will be adding the filling onto each noodle before simply rolling the noodle around the filling.

How do you freeze lasagna roll ups?
Spinach lasagna roll ups make a great freezer meal. I love a recipe where I make it once and we can use it for dinner several times. When making lasagna roll ups to freeze, simply make the roll ups as you would when you want to eat them the same night, then wrap them in plastic wrap and then again in aluminum foil. This creates a nice seal against freezer burn. Lasagna rolls can be stored in the freezer for 3 months. When you are ready to bake them, unwrap, cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Can I prepare these the night before?
Absolutely. If you want to make these spinach lasagna rolls ahead of time, you can make the rolls up, wrap in plastic and then refrigerate for up to 24 hours. To bake, follow the baking instruction.
The Best Spinach Lasagna Roll Ups
Ingredients
- 8 whole wheat lasagna noodles
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 8-ounce container baby bella (cremini) mushrooms, sliced
- ½ small onion diced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 23.25-ounce jar Prego Light Smart Traditional pasta sauce
- 1 14.5-ounce can no-salt-added diced tomatoes
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 15-ounce container part-skim ricotta cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg beaten
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach thawed and drained
- ½ cup shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat an 11x7-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the lasagna to al dente according to package directions. Drain the lasagna noodles and lay them out on a sheet of wax paper. Cover them with slightly damp paper towels until it is time to assemble the rolls.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, onions, and garlic and cook until the onions and mushrooms have softened, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes. Set the mushroom mixture aside.
- In a large bowl, stir together the pasta sauce, diced tomatoes, basil, and oregano. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta, Parmesan, egg, salt, and pepper. Add the spinach and stir to evenly coat the spinach.
- Spoon half of the pasta sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Spread ⅓ cup of the cheese mixture and 1 tablespoon of the mushroom mixture onto each lasagna noodle. Carefully roll the covered lasagna noodles up and place them seam side down in the baking dish.
- Pour the remaining sauce over the rolled lasagna noodles. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon mozzarella over each roll.
- Lightly cover the baking dish with aluminum foil (to keep the lasagna moist and cheese from browning) and bake until the cheese is melted, about 30 minutes.
