Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375˚F. Bring a large pot of lightly seasoned water to a boil. Add lasagna noodles and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes.
  • While the pasta cooks, make the filling. Drain the cooked spinach thoroughly, extracting as much excess water as possible. Place drained spinach in a medium bowl and add ricotta, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic, basil, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix with a fork to combine, making sure to break up any large chunks of spinach so it’s evenly distributed.
  • Add about ½ cup of marinara sauce to the bottom of a 9 by 13-inch baking dish and spread into an even layer. Set aside.
  • When the pasta is al dente, drain and set aside in a colander. Working quickly, place one lasagna noodle on a clean work surface. Spread about 2 to 3 tablespoons of prepared ricotta filling evenly all over the surface of the noodle, then roll into a spiral. Place in the baking pan on top of the marinara. Repeat this process with all of the noodles and filing. You should wind up with 4 rows of 3 lasagna roll ups in your baking pan.
  • Drizzle the remaining marinara sauce on top of the lasagna roll-ups, then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake for 35 minutes.
  • Uncover the pan, then bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is very melty and bubbly.

Notes

Storage: If you have leftovers from this vegetarian lasagna recipe, you can store them in the fridge in an airtight container for 3-4 days. For the best results when reheating, I recommend adding it back to a baking dish, covering it with foil, and heating it in the oven until warmed through.
Use long lasagna noodles. The smaller ones will work just fine, but the long ones are easier to roll and have a better presentation in the end.
Drain the spinach well. When you thaw frozen spinach, you’ll notice it releases lot of liquid, so I highly suggest taking the extra step of draining the spinach very well. You can use a kitchen towel, cheesecloth, and even paper towels to squeeze the spinach.
