These lasagna roll ups are so good! We love them for dinner, a make ahead meal, a meal train meal, basically any occasion which calls for an easy dinner. We eat the leftovers for a couple nights afterwards since reheating them is a breeze.

Homemade Spinach Ricotta Filling

  • I started with boiling my lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Once fully cooked, lay them out in strips on paper towels to dry, then placed them on parchment paper so they wouldn’t stick.
  • While the lasagna noodles are boiling, make the spinach ricotta filling. 
    • If you want to really go the homemade route, use our homemade ricotta recipe.
  • Mix ricotta, egg, shredded mozzarella, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper & steamed spinach (make sure the spinach is cooled so it doesn’t melt the ricotta/scramble the egg) together in a bowl. Mix with a fork until fully combined.

How to Make Rolled Lasagna

  • Fill a 9×13 inch casserole dish with about 1/2 inch of marinara sauce.
    • My favorite store bought marinara sauces are Rao’s, Newman’s Own, and Sprouts brand.
  • Spread about 2-3 tablespoons of spinach ricotta filling onto the lasagna noodle, and then roll it up.
  • Place the lasagna roll seamside down in the pan.
  • Top with about 2 teaspoons of marinara, then will some additional shredded mozzarella. 
  • Bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees fahrenheit. I like to bake it for 15 minutes covered, followed by 10 minutes uncovered. This keeps the cheese gooey!

Storing & Reheating Lasagna Rolls

Once the lasagna rolls are cooked and if you’ve managed to not eat all of them with some left over, they store great in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. 

  • Store lasagna rolls in a lidded container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. 
  • If you want to reheat them, place them on a plate covered by a paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds at a time until warm throughout. 
  • Lasagna rolls get a little dried out? Add about 1 teaspoon of water on the plate before microwaving with a paper towel on top. They will perk right back up!

Recipe Variations

  • Not a fan of spinach? Skip it! This will yield a little less filling, so subsitute cheese in its place to make up for it. 
  • Want to add protein? Add 1/2 cup of cottage cheese to the ricotta mixture.
  • You could also use alfredo instead of marinara sauce! Here’s a quick recipe we love.
