Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces lasagna noodles
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 quarter cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1.5 cups marinara sauce
- 1 cup spinach (optional, chopped)
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay them flat on a clean surface to prevent sticking.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, half of the shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, spinach (if using), egg, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix until well combined.
Spread 2-3 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture onto each cooked lasagna noodle, spreading it evenly across the surface of the noodle.
Roll each noodle tightly from one end to the other, creating a secure roll.
Spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce evenly across the bottom of a microwave-safe baking dish.
Place the lasagna rolls seam-side down in the dish. Make sure they are snug but not overlapping.
Top the rolls with the remaining marinara sauce and sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Cover the dish with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a lid, leaving a small gap for steam to escape.
Microwave on high for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, the sauce is bubbling, and the rolls are heated through.
Carefully remove from the microwave (watch for steam when uncovering) and let cool for 2 minutes before serving.
