Filled with spinach, ricotta, and mozzarella, these rolls are easy to make and so delicious.
Pretty good. I omitted the extra teaspoon of salt and instead of cooking fresh garlic, I just added wet garlic to the cheese mix. I didn’t have a 14 oz. jar of pasta sauce, so I mixed what I had: 8 oz. can of tomato sauce, 6 oz. can of tomato paste, and 1 Tbsp. of dried Italian seasoning. I fit the 8 roll-ups in a 9x9 square dish and as a main dish, this recipe made 2.5 servings in this house.

I've actually made this recipe twice on our newly adopted "Meatless Monday". I used fresh baby spinach the second and just laid a single line down the middle over the cheese mixture. I get the 8oz block of cheese and use half in the mixture and use the rest to cover the rolls. My children love it
Trying this for the first time. Looking pretty yummy so far! I substituted cottage cheese for ricotta and added 1 lb. of lean ground beef. Because I added more ingredients I used ten noodles. Putting a 1/4 cup in each roll made it a perfect portion. This is super easy to make and good to make ahead of time so I can pop in the oven when we are ready to eat!
The spinach and ricotta was a little overwhelming. Next time I might add some more garlic to the mix and maybe some sugar. I had to thicken the sauce with tomato paste in order to get the right look to it. Overall was still very good.
Surprised how delicious this was! Maybe the garlic gave it something extra. I usually layer the cheese and meat sauce together but liked it this way. Nice and creamy was my husband's comment. I used a little less spinach than called for. Also - i chose this recipe for its size. However, the cheese mixture only filled 7 noodles.
This is a family favorite; my husband has been begging for this meal for a couple of months. Some recipes call for onions, but I have to leave them out due to an allergy. Try it, and you won't be disappointed.
these rolls were amazing but we prefer to make them with a homemade alfredo sauce instead! Give it a try!
Will make this or something like it again...added parsley, pepper and one egg to the ricotta mixture. To dry spinach I squeezed it between two dinner plates and that worked well. Just added garlic powder this time because I did not have time to saute. Wished I would have used 9 noodles because the mixtures made enough for nine rollups, used a 11x7 pan and put a little sauce in bottom first, sprinkled mozzarella on the top, too.
Found this a little salty, so I will probably reduce the amount of salt added the next time I make it. My husband asked for seconds which is a very good sign! Simple and easy to make-it's being added to our meal rotation for sure!
I liked it a lot, but my husband thought there was too much spinach. I'm making it again tonight, replacing the spinach with 1 lb. of ground beef. He'll probably like that a lot better. :)
Came out really tasty! I served this dish for a family new year's party and they were gone in a matter of minutes! I opted for whole wheat pasta noodles instead though. Will be making this again for sure!
Original version is pretty good, but making changes to make it our own. The last version we really liked, probably won't change much more. Used a blend of Italian cheeses instead of mozzarella, added dash of black pepper and red pepper flakes to the filling, used a little less spinach.
Loved it. Soaked the noodles in hot water as one reviewer suggested, which worked out great when I needed an extra noodle. Added parsley and an egg as one reviewer suggested and put in a little onion powder and oregano for extra flavor. Will definitely make again.
This recipe was very good. I added Italian sausage and mushrooms to the meat sauce and added a bit of meat to the inside of the roll up.
I added sweet sausage (after I’d cooked it) to the ricotta/spinach mixture. It was a HIT!
I made this dish exactly as instructed and it was very tasty. I served it with salad and garlic bread and everyone was very pleased with the quick and delicious dinner. :)
Really good, first time I tried making lasagna roll ups. I did omit the salt and used wet garlic. Will make again.
This is the second time I have made this dish. This time I wanted to use the whole box of noodles and small container of ricotta so I used extra garlic, salt and ricotta cheese. I also added mozzarella to the top with the Parmesan cheese. It was delicious!!! This recipe takes a little time to prepare, but very tasty!!
Very easy! I doubled the riccota (cuz I love it) and added an egg (seemed like the thing to do). I also used fresh spinach and sprinkled the top with mozzeralla cheese before baking. Yum, Thanks for the post Chickentarian :)
Great recipe as is. Made my own sauce, as I do not do jarred sauces. Made the mistake of using low fat ricotta the second time- do not do this, as taste and texture suffered. Use full fat cheese and eat a smaller portion. Quick, elegant meal to serve at parties.
Very good option for Meatless Monday! It took a little time to prepare, but it was not difficult. The presentation was very nice. I prepared everything according to the recipe. I used Newman's marinara sauce for ease of a "weeknight meal" Leftovers were even better. I'll be making this again.
The overall recipe was good. However the spinach was a little much, could have offset that by adding more ricotta, and maybe cooking the sauce with seasonings before adding it on top of the rolls to out in the oven
I love lasagna in this guise. So perfectly sized. Have one or three...whatever. I usually make my own tomato sauce/marinara. Works w/ an alfredo sauce as well. I've used spicy sausage for protein/flavor/heat.
These are easy to make, I usually do a batch and freeze some for those days I’m too tired to cook
This recipe was delicious! I did make some changes based on the ingredients I had, instead of fresh garlic I used powdered and for the cheese topping I used a blend of mozzarella and parmesan. Also as another reviewer mentioned I put a layer of pasta sauce on the bottom of the baking dish and a line of pasta sauce over the spinach cheese mixture on top of the noodle. Turned out excellent and I'll be making again and again!
This was very tasty.. I followed the recipe as written. The dish was somewhat dry, but I can't blame this on the recipe since I made my own marinara sauce & it was thicker than jarred. Next time I will make a less dense sauce, or double the sauce I used, or "doctor" a jarred sauce by adding spices. I also soaked the noodles in hot water for 20 minutes rather than boil them, so they were firmer than if boiled. This was a plus, in my opinion, since it made the noodles easier to handle and serve. I will definitely make this again.
I had to make some changes due to what was available at the time: I used 14 ounces of fresh spinach, sautéed. To the sauce I added a half pound of cooked ground beef, some Italian seasoning and oregano 1 cup of Cottage cheese in place of ricotta 2 tsp of jar-type minced garlic in place of of fresh garlic ( added to the beef as it cooked)
It turned out great I’ve made this before but I use cottage cheese instead of ricotta, not a big fan of ricotta but still turned out wonderful!
No changes and yes i got a request to make it with ground turkey instead of ground beef
These are easy to make, I usually do a batch and freeze some for those days I’m too tired to cook
I've made this many times for many years. I make my own sauce, adding garlic. Also add a touch of nutmeg to the spinach. You can add another cheese, such as mozzarella, to make it cheesier/gooier.
I made one batch with this recipe but added mushrooms and egg to ricotta mixture, excellent! My daughter and I loved this version. Then made another batch with beef minus spinach plus egg which the boys loved!! I don’t think I’ll made regular lasagna again, very good recipe.
I made this for a church potluck and it was a big hit!! I doubled the recipe & chopped 1# fresh spinach instead of the frozen. I didn’t get a picture but I will next time I make it, this time for my family!!
I loved it! My husband (the carnivore) says it would be better with meat so I'll add that in next time.
I’d use a little less spinach next time. Maybe 7 oz since it’s a family meal for like kids.
This is especially good if you chop up some fresh basil leaves and add them to the ricotta mixture. I think homemade ricotta is especially good as well if you're daring to do this as I did. The few simple basic ingredients is what makes it so good.
I liked the recipe but I must admit I added a few things to make it a bit meaty and to use up ingredients I had at hand that were in dire need to be used. First, I did not use cottage cheese only mozzarella. Second, I cooked some remnant Italian sausage I had (less than 1/4 lb) and diced 2 bacon strips and cooked them with the sausage and garlic. Third, I added a bit canned diced tomatoes that I had leftover. In terms of the directions, I followed the recipe to a T. It came out excellent and went well with crusty bread. Will make it again!
I made this and just used fresh spinach instead of frozen. I also just mixed the raw minced garlic (to save time) in the ricotta and added a bit of fresh parsley to the mix.
This was really easy to make. I substituted the Spaghetti Sauce for Alfredo Sauce and also added mushrooms.
I used pepper jack cheese and made my on sauce with lots of fresh veggies—-it was deliciously healthy!
Daughter said she liked better than lasagna! Couple notes: I chopped up fresh spinach and cooked it With garlic after it was done for couple minutes to wilt then added this to ricotta/mozzarella mix. I also added some Lawrys garlic salt with Parsley to the mix. Then I made a regular spaghetti meat sauce to pour over rolled up noodles. I had regular noodles and the no boil variety, still boiled both but no boil were ready in half the time (had them on top so were easy to pull out early) tried both...preferred no boil because they seem lighter but both were delicious! Topped it with a bit more mixer Ella and fresh grated parmesan before baking covered, Removed cover and broiled for 2 min to brown up the cheese a bit. This is super easy and could be made ahead of time for company! Thank you for sharing!!
Grand daughter and I made these and they were very very good we used fresh cooked spinach because that is what we had and a little extra parmesan in with the ricotta and used my own home made marinara sauce THEY WERE DEVOURED!!!
Easy and fast. Substituted 4% cottage cheese for the ricotta. Even looked like the photograph on the recipe. My husband raved about it. Said it's even better than the lasagna made at his favorite Italian restaurant. Definitely will make it again for company.
This was a lot of work in my opinion, but came out of the oven looking and smelling great. I used the suggestion of hot water to soak (gluten free) noodles and laid them on a silicone baking liner which made it easy to roll. Filling was spinach, cashew ricotta and 1lb turkey Italian sausage. Looking forward to eating this all week!
easiest recipe, not messy serving, everyone got a roll and went back for seconds and thirds. I only put sauce on top of the rolls and not inside and it still was very moist. When I took out the noodles, I laid them on parchment paper and they did not touch each other and I took them out with thongs- did not toss them all into a colander then struggle to unstick. Very easy. I Definitely will make again
Very good. I doubled the recipe and used 8 oz of fresh spinach. I put a small amount of sauce on the bottom of the pan first. I added an egg and parsley to the ricotta mixture. On top of the rolls I covered with sauce and more Mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese.
Will I make it again: YES! It will defiantly make this recipe again. It was simple and easy to make. Did I change anything: I added my extra mozzarella cheese to the top, instead of Parisian cheese
Came out pretty good. I made it twice, the second time I just put spices in as I like. Gonna try it with crab and shrimp, and an alfredo sauce!
We really enjoyed this. My husband rated this as a 5 and he rarely does that. I made this exactly as the recipe states except I did add sauce to the inside of each roll. This calculated as 7 WW points on the green plan.
Very tasty and easy to make by a novice cook. Used 20 ounces of sauce which was the perfect amount!
I cooked finely chopped chicken with the crushed garlic and added to mixture.. not vegetarian friendly but delicious for meat eaters
I'm not much of a cook and this was so easy to make. I'll be making it many times over.
