Ingredients

  • FILLING

  • 15 ounces whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 2 - eggs, beaten
  • 10 ounces frozen spinach, thawed, chopped fine and "wrung out" of all water
  • 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup romano cheese, grated
  • 1/4 cup parmigiano-reggiano, grated
  • TOPPING
  • 3 cups your favorite marinara

How To Make lasagna roses

  • Step 1
    In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, spinach, salt, pepper, pepper flakes, romano & Parmesan cheese. Combine well, but do not over-mix.
  • Step 2
    Lay out al dente noodles [you'll need one and half noodles per ramekin], and evenly distribute 1/8 the filling. When complete, "roll up" noodles.
  • Step 3
    Place about 1/4 cup marinara sauce in the bottom of each ramekin. Place one lasagna roll, "ruffle" side up. Drizzle olive oil over each "ruffle".
  • Step 4
    Dollop a tablespoon or two of marinara over each "rose", followed by the grated mozzarella.
  • Step 5
    Place under broiler, on the lowest rack, until cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve hot with some Italian wine. Enjoy!
