Ingredients:

Quantity Ingredient
1 Lasagna pasta
16 oz Low-fat ricotta cheese
8 oz Fat-free ricotta cheese
1 Part-skim mozzarella cheese
3 cups Frozen chopped spinach
1/2 cup Carrots
1/2 cup Fresh parsley
1 Fresh basil
1 Egg
Salt and pepper, to taste
Pasta sauce, as needed

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Chop basil and parsley. (You can use dried if you’re feeling really lazy!)

  3. Prepare Lasagna pasta according to package instructions. Lay a few sheets of wax paper on the kitchen table for assembly.

  4. In a mixing bowl, combine low-fat ricotta cheese, fat-free ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella (reserve the rest for later), chopped parsley, chopped basil, squeezed dry chopped spinach, grated carrots, salt, pepper, and egg. Mix well by hand until thoroughly combined.

  5. Lay cooked Lasagna pasta sheets on wax paper. Spread a thin layer of the spinach mixture along the length of each pasta sheet. You may have leftover pasta or spinach filling, which you can store or discard.

  6. Spread a little pasta sauce on the bottom of a large shallow casserole dish.

  7. Roll each filled lasagna sheet and place it in the casserole dish.

  8. Spoon pasta sauce over the spinach rolls.

  9. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.

  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  11. Serve hot with a side of crusty garlic bread and a refreshing salad.
