These easy lasagna roll ups (vegetarian pasta rolls) have all of the flavors of a classic lasagna, but they are ready in less time and are a healthier option. Covered in a rich marinara sauce, these healthy lasagna rolls are family-friendly and are an easy make-ahead meal!
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the lasagne sheets to the boiling water and cook according to package directions, drain and lay out the noodles flat in a single layer (on aluminum foil or parchment paper) so they don't stick together.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and the red pepper - sauté with a wooden spoon for 5 minutes or until tender. Add the spinach and all of your spices. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Add one of the jars of sauce to your veggie mixture - simmer for 5 minutes.
Mix the ricotta and 2/3 cup mozzarella cheese in a medium bowl. To assemble, place cooked noodles on a flat surface. Spread 1/8 cup of the cheese filling. Then add 1/8 cup veggie mixture over each noodle. Repeat with each lasagna sheet (top with ricotta mixture and then veggie mixture).
On your work surface, Roll up the lasagna sheets, jelly-roll fashion, starting with the short side. Place the rolls, seam side down, in a small baking dish that has been smeared with 1/4 cup of sauce. Pour the remaining sauce over each roll and top each of the lasagna roll-ups with 1 Tbsp shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes, or until the cheese on top has melted and is golden brown.
