Mary's Notes:

This is a very simple recipe that looks great and tastes even better. I started making my lasagna this way because it seems to cook more evenly and provides clear serving sizes. There's no egg used in this recipe, but the filling doesn't suffer a bit in my opinion.

Comments from the Test Kitchen: Kitchen Crew

My family usually enjoys anything with spinach in it and this dish is no exception.  In fact, my son wanted the leftovers to take to work with him!  It is easy to prepare and, while we liked it just as is, it would also be good with ground beef added to the sauce.

 

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2
Spread small amount of spaghetti sauce in the bottom of a 9 x 13" baking dish.
3
Combine cheeses, reserving a small amount of parmesan for sprinkling over the finished dish; add garlic.
4
Add spinach; mix in Italian seasoning, salt and pepper to taste.
5
Spread out cooked lasagna noodles; place a small amount of the filling mixture along the entire length of each noodle; when done, roll each noodle up and place into the baking dish.
6
Top with remaining sauce and sprinkle tops with parmesan; bake for 30 minutes or until cheese begins to brown slightly.
7
Leftovers are great... if you have any!

I made this last night and it was a very easy TASTY recipe...the only thing I did different was use low fat cottage cheese because I couldn't find the rocotta cheese in the supermarket :o) Thanks for the recipe!

Wow, I'm so glad you all liked them. Diane, how was the cottage cheese? I've thought about trying that but am a little hesitant about the texture. What did you think?

It was fine I always use cottage cheese...I was just going to try the rocotta because I've never used it. What I do is after I squeeze all the moisture out of the frozen spinach I pulse it in my small food processor then add the cottage cheese and pulse it all together. This thickens the cottage cheese :)

I used low fat ricotta and low fat mozzarella, even none gluten pasta.
I did traditionally spread the pasta. It was delicious!

I made this lasagna for my husband last week and I swear his eyes rolled back into his head! Rolling the noodles with the ingredients in the middle instead of layering was a brilliant idea. I will definitely be making this again. :)
