These easy spinach roll ups are so quick-n-easy that they will become a staple in your menu!
Bake time: 15 min or until cheese is melted. Prep time is 10 minutes.
- 1 bag of frozen chopped spinach (thawed and drained)
- 1 apple (diced in small pieces)
- 1 egg
- 3 tbs of garlic (or to taste)
- 1/2 of yellow or white onion
- 4 tbs of butter
- 1 package of prepared lasagna noodle (organic and whole wheat preferably)
- *optional leek for those that like leeks
- 1 jar of prepared spaghetti or tomatoe sauce.
- 1 jar of 8oz ricotta cheese
- 1 parmesan cheese enough for the topping.
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions: Heat oven to 350 degrees. If the lasagna noodles need to be cooked then follow directions on the box. In a medium size sauce pan heat butter. Clarify it then saute the onion and garlic for a few minutes over medium heat. Add apple, spinach and leeks. Saute until all mixed nicely together. * Tip add either extra olive oil or butter if not enough for all ingredients.
Remove from heat and add to large bowl. In separate bowl, beat the egg and mix with ricotta cheese and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. Add ricotta mixture to spinach mixture.
Lay out the lasagna noodles. Spread a medium size layer of the spinach/ricotta cheese mixture. * tip don’t fill it too thin or it won’t roll up well and leave room and ends for rolling.
Roll the noodle up, top each noodle with a spoon full of spaghetti sauce and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. Put in oven to bake for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Serve immediately.
