Roll-ups give you all the flavor of lasagna with neat individual portions and no layering. Squeeze the thawed spinach very dry, or the filling turns watery. Lay the cooked noodles flat on parchment while you work so they do not tear or stick.
Ingredients
Serves 6
Directions
- Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Boil the noodles in salted water 1 minute less than the package says, then drain and lay them flat on parchment paper or oiled baking sheets.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook 6 to 8 minutes until the liquid evaporates and they are browned. Add the garlic for 30 seconds, then cool slightly.
- Mix the ricotta, egg, Parmesan, 1 cup of the mozzarella, salt, pepper and nutmeg in a bowl. Stir in the spinach and mushrooms until evenly combined.
- Spread 1 cup of the marinara over the bottom of a 9 by 13-inch baking dish.
- Spread about 1/4 cup filling over each noodle, leaving a 1/2-inch border at the end, and roll up from the short end. Arrange seam-side down in the dish.
- Spoon the remaining marinara over the roll-ups and cover tightly with foil. Bake 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil, scatter on the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella and bake 8 to 10 minutes more until bubbling and golden in spots. Rest 5 minutes before serving.
Tips and make-ahead notes
- Cook a couple of extra noodles in case some tear.
- Assemble up to 24 hours ahead, covered, and bake cold, adding about 10 minutes.
- Freeze unbaked roll-ups for up to 3 months and bake covered from frozen for about 1 hour.
- Traditional Parmesan is made with animal rennet. For a strictly vegetarian dish, use a Parmesan-style cheese labeled vegetarian.
