Thumbs down Lasagna Lovers!

These are my favorite version of rolled lasagna. Even my fiance likes them and he thought he wouldn't because there is no meat in it. Its very filling. The recipe calls two rolls a serving but really that's only if you aren't eating it with anything else. Throw in your salad and a piece of bread and one roll is plenty. Also if I remember right it made more than 8 rolls- more like 12 or more. I freeze the extras in individual containers and it works great for something quick and healthy to take to work.




Green and White Lasagna Bundles

Makes 8 roll-ups, 4 servings

8 lasagna noodles
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
15 oz contziner of reduced-fat ricotta cheese
1/4c grated parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp salt
10 oz frozen chopped spinach (or broccoli) thawed & drained
1/4c snipped fresh chives
1 1/2c reduced-fat spaghetti sauce
1/2c finely shredded reduced fat mozzarella
snipped fresh chives for garnish

Cook the lasagna noodles according to the directions on the package. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, stir together the egg whites, ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese and salt. Set the cheese mixture aside. Lightly spray an unheated large skillet with olive oil no stick spray. Add the spinach and chives. Cook and stir over mediumheat for five minutes. Add the spinach mixture to the cheese mixture. Stir until well combined. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread a thin layer of spaghetti sauce in the bottom of a 12"x7 1/2"x2" (I used a 9x13) baking dish. To assemble, place one noodle on a piece of wax paper. Then place 1/4 cup of the spinach mixture in a mound 1/4" from the short end. Roll the noodle around the spinach mixture.* Place the roll-up, seam side down, in the baking dish. Repeat making the rolls-ups with the remaining noodles and spinach mixture. Pour the remaining spaghetti sauce over the roll-ups in the baking dish. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese on top and cover with foil. Bake for 35-45 minutes until bubblly. If desired garnish with the chives.

Per serving (2 rolls): Calories 427; fat 9 g, % of Calories from Fat 18%; Cholesterol 39mg, WW points 8 points.

*Instead of wrapping the whole noodle around a mound of filling, I spread the filling down the length of the noodle so you have flavor throughout.

According to what the recipe says you should only get 8 noodles out of this but when I made it I ended up with 18! I will include the nutrtion information for the recipe with 8 and for the recipe with 18. You might want to make sure you have extra lasagna noodles in case the same thing happens to you. I didn't put as much filling on each noodle as it suggests because I put on as much as it would hold without filling squishing out all over the place.

Spinach Lasagna Rolls -serves 8 (supposedly)

10 oz frozen chopped spinach
8 lasagna noodles
1 large onion
1 medium green pepper
nonstick cooking spray
16 oz can of tomatoes
1/2 tsp dried basil
8 oz can of tomato sauce
1/2tsp sugar
2c lowfat cottage or ricotta cheese
1/2c grated parmesan cheese
1 beaten egg
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg

Cook spinach and lasagna noodles separately according to package directions. Drain and set aside. For the sauce, chop onion, green pepper. Spray a large cold saucepan with nonstick spray coating; heat over medium heat. Add onion, green pepper, mushrooms, garlic. Cook until vegetables are tender. Cut up tomatoes and crush basil. Stir undrained tomatoes, basil, tomato sauce, sugar and 1/4 tsp pepper into the vegetables. Bring to boiling, reduce heat. Simmer uncovered, 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Meanwhil for filling, in a bowl, stir together spinach, cheeses, egg and nutmag. Spread a scant 1/2c spinach mixture on each noodle. Roll up each noodle, jelly-roll style, beginning at the short end. Spoon 1 cup of sauce mixture into a 12x7 1/2x 2 inch bakinh dish. Place rolls seam side down in the dish. Spoon on remaining sauce. Cover with plastic wrap, chill for 2-24 hours. Before serving, remove plastic wrap, cover with foil and bake in a 375 degree oven for 40-45 minutes or until bubbly.
