Spinach Lasagna Rolls

Hello Friends,

Today's recipe is going to be a vegetarian dish. I promised more recipes for you vegetarians, and here is one of them. This is recipe is the most delicious non-meat lasagna ever! My whole family raves on and on about this recipe and we've already had it 3 times in 2 weeks. There are a few steps involved, but it's super easy. This lasagna has the perfect Italian kick to it! So whether you just want to get in your greens for the day, or if you don't eat meat, here is your next dinner!

*Note: You can add just about anything to this recipe. If you want to do half spinach and half kale, awesome. If you still want to add meat to the filling, great. You can do just about anything with this recipe. When I put the spinach mixture on to the noodle, I make sure the layer is quite thin and spreads out completely to the edge of the noodle. Once the noodle is rolled up a couple of times, it becomes the perfect thickness of noodle and filling! I'll post the whole recipe at the bottom so that it will be easier for you to copy and paste.

Spinach Lasagna Rolls
 

 
Ingredients:
7 large handfuls of washed and drained Spinach
(you can use any type of greens you want)
10 lasagna noodles
Coconut Oil or Butter
2 cups Mozzarella cheese (plus more to sprinkle on top)
1 jar Spaghetti sauce
1 cup Parmesan Cheese (plus more to sprinkle on top)
1 tsp Italian
1 tsp Oregano
1 tsp Cilantro (optional)
1 tsp Parsley
1 tsp Basil
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp Onion Powder
 
 
Cook noodles until soft.
 

Wash and drain spinach, then Sauté spinach in your coconut oil/butter with all your seasoning and a little parmesan cheese, drip drain.
 
 
 
 
Run noodles under cold water to cool down.
 
Lay noodles on a towel and pat dry, careful not to tear them.
 
 
Place noodles on a hard surface such as your counter or a cutting board.
(Yes, I torn some of my noodles.....oops.)
 
 
 In a large pan pour in enough spaghetti sauce to cover bottom to about 1/4" deep.
 
 
In a medium bowl mix together spinach, mozzarella & parmesan cheese.
 
 
Place a thin layer of spinach each prepared lasagna noodle, making sure to spread it to each side of the noodle.
(To some it may look kind of gross, but it is truly delicious!)
 
 
Fold noodle over on top of itself. You should get about 3 1/2 to 4 folds for each noodle, depending on the size of your fold.
 
 
 Place lasagna rolls in the spaghetti sauce in your pan until pan is full. Drizzle spaghetti sauce & sprinkle extra cheese on top.
 
 
 
 
Bake at 350* for 30 - 40 minutes.
