Veggie Loaded Lasagna Roll Ups {Freezer Meal}
Veggie loaded lasagna roll ups will win you over just as traditional lasagna has, but this version can be easily portioned out and frozen for future easy freezer meals!
Ingredients
- 12 uncooked lasagna noodles
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 3 cups ricotta cheese
- 1/3 cup shredded Parmesan
- 1 cup grated zucchini
- 1/2 cup grated carrot
- 5 cups marinara sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella
Instructions
- In a large pot, cook the lasagna noodles as per the directions on the box.
- Whole the noodles are cooking, heat the oil in a large skillet.
- When the oil is heated, add the spinach to the skillet. Cook the spinach down, and then set aside in a bowl. Line the bowl with a paper towel so remove any excess moisture or oil.
- In a large bowl, combine the ricotta, Parmesan, grated zucchini, grated carrots, and spinach.
- Once the noodles are cooked. Lay them out on a pan so you can work quickly.
- Divide the cheese/veggie filling across all noodles. Spoon it onto each noodle and use the back of the spoon to spread it down the entire length of the noodle.
- Do the same with half of the marinara sauce. Spoon sauce onto the cheese/veggie mixture on each noodle and use the back of the spoon to spread the sauce down the length of the noodle.
- Starting from the bottom (end of the noodle closest to you), gently roll the lasagna noodle up.
- This recipe perfectly fills a 13 X 9 dish, but whichever dish or container you choose to use, spoon marinara sauce to cover the bottom surface.
- Add the roll ups to your baking dish.
- Cover the lasagna roll ups with the remaining marinara.
- Top the lasagna roll ups with shredded mozzarella.
- If freezing, freeze your lasagna roll ups unbaked. Place a layer of plastic wrap on the top, then cover with foil.
- To bake, preheat oven to 375°F and bake for 45 minutes until warm through out. If baking from frozen, increase time to approximately 90 minutes.
