When I think of comfort food, my Vegetarian Lasagna Roll Ups are always the first thing that comes to mind. They’re packed with all the flavors of classic lasagna and it's ready in under an hour. Covered in a rich marinara sauce, these healthy lasagna rolls are not only family-friendly but also an ideal make-ahead meal for busy days.
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.
