Spinach Lasagna Roll-Ups
The common cold has fogged my brain (or sapped my motivation) enough that I haven’t done much research in the last few days. I have a couple of MyPlate recipes stocked up that I had not yet posted, so I thought I’d grace you with one today. I present to you a fiance favorite: The Spinach Lasagna Roll-Up.
Ingredients:
10-12 lasagna noodles (you’ll only use 8 but you want to have extra in case some tear)
1/2 pound lean ground beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 medium onion, chopped
8-10 mushrooms, sliced
1 cup spinach
3/4 cup fat free sour cream
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella
1 (15-oz) can no salt added tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried or 1 teaspoon minced fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Cook and drain the lasagna noodles according to the package directions, minus about 2 minutes (you want the noodles to hang together well for the roll-ups).
- While the noodles are cooking, brown the ground beef over medium heat and drain the fat (if you prefer a vegetarian option, these are deliciously mushroom-y without the beef too). Add in the olive oil, onions, and mushrooms and saute until soft.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add in spinach, fat free sour cream, and 1/2 cup of the shredded mozzarella. Cook until cheese is melted and spinach is slightly wilted.
- Lay the lasagna noodles out on a plate. Spread a thin layer of the beef and mushroom mixture on each noodle. Roll the noodles up and place in a 9×13 baking dish.
- In a bowl, stir together tomato sauce, basil, oregano, and garlic powder. Pour on top of lasagna roll-ups. Top with remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Serve two roll-ups with a side of veggies and some fruit for a complete MyPlate meal. Oh, and try not to splash sauce all over the edge of the plate like I did. =)
