I love making these because 1. they make great left overs! 2. I make enough meat sauce to use for another meal later in the week or I freeze it! 3. all the kids will eat it! 4. They don't even know they are eating whole wheat pasta or spinach! 5. If they are picky I leave spinach out for a few rolls. 6. It's comfort foot at it's finest and is RIB sticking good! Is that how the saying goes? If not, I am gonna start saying that anyway.
Ingredients:
1 jar of marinara (watch for salt and sugar in ingredients or you can make your own!)
1 lb of ground turkey or ground chicken, or lean ground beef.
1/2 yellow onion
2 cloves of garlic
Salt and pepper, onion powder and oregano to taste
1 eggs
1 cup of Ricotta Cheese
1 tsp dried oregano
1 cup of Shredded mozzarella cheese
1 Frozen container of spinach, thawed and drained
10 whole wheat lasagna noodles
Cook whole wheat lasagna noodles per pack directions and set aside. I put a little EVOO in the water to keep them from sticking.
Meanwhile make your favorite meat sauce or marinara. I made meat sauce with ground turkey. I always add some onion and garlic and sautee with the meat. Season to taste! Let simmer for a bit to make it extra tasty!
In a separate bowl beat one eggs and add 1 cup of ricotta cheese and a tsp of oregano. Mix together. Add spinach too!
Get out a large baking dish and spoon some meat sauce into the bottom. Lay out cooked lasagna noodles. Spread each one with the ricotta mixture, then a spoonful of meat sauce, then sprinkle some cheese. Repeat for all noodles. Roll them each up and place in pan. Top with some more meat sauce and a little bit of cheese!
Bake at 350 covered with foil for 30 min. DONE! ENJOY!
1 lasanga roll is 1 yellow, 1 red, 1/2 green, 1/2 purple, and 1/2 blue.
