Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Lasagna noodles
- 2 cups Ricotta cheese
- 4 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 cup Gorgonzola cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Cook the lasagna noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and lay flat on a clean kitchen towel to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, spinach, Parmesan cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and set aside.
To prepare the Gorgonzola cream sauce, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
Stir the gorgonzola cheese into the sauce and whisk until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.
Spread a thin layer of the Gorgonzola cream sauce over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
To assemble the roll ups, spread 2-3 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture evenly over each lasagna noodle. Roll the noodle tightly from one end to the other.
Place each roll upright in the prepared baking dish, seam side down. Repeat with the remaining noodles and filling.
Pour the remaining Gorgonzola cream sauce over the roll ups, ensuring they are evenly covered. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese on top.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
