Healthy Spinach Lasagna Rolls

Ingredients

• 9 lasagna noodles, cooked


• 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and completely drained


• 1 (15 ounce) container fat free ricotta cheese


• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese


• 1 egg


• 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic


• 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasonings


• salt and fresh pepper


• (optional) 1 chicken breast, cooked and diced


• 32 oz tomato sauce (I used spaghetti sauce)


• 9 Tablespoons part skim mozzarella cheese, shredded

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Make sure you drain the spinach well. Combine spinach, ricotta, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic, Italian seasonings, chicken, and salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Pour about 1 cup sauce on the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish.


2. Place a piece of wax paper on the counter and lay out lasagna noodles. Make sure noodles are dry by patting them with a paper towel. Take 1/3 cup of ricotta mixture and spread evenly over a noodle. Roll carefully and place seam side down onto the baking dish. Repeat with remaining noodles.


3. Ladle sauce over the noodles in the baking dish and top each one with 1 Tablespoon of mozzarella cheese. Cover baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes, or until cheese melts. Makes 9 rolls.


4. To serve, ladle a little sauce on the plate and top with lasagna roll.
