Ingredients
Scale
12 lasagna noodles
2 cups ricotta cheese
1 1/4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
2 large eggs
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
Cook lasagna noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, then drain and lay flat on a parchment-lined surface.
In a mixing bowl, mix ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, spinach, basil, eggs, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, add garlic, and cook until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in parsley, salt, and pepper.
Spread 2 tablespoons of filling along each noodle, roll up tightly, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
Drizzle half of the garlic butter sauce over the roll-ups.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until cheese is golden and bubbly.
Drizzle remaining garlic butter sauce over roll-ups and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Feel free to add more vegetables to the filling for added nutrition.
The roll-ups can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator before baking.
For a lighter version, substitute part-skim ricotta and mozzarella cheese.
