Categories     Entree

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup yellow onion (minced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
28 ounces crushed tomatoes
3 ounces tomato paste (4 tablespoons)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon dried oregano ( or ½ teaspoon fresh, minced)
¼ teaspoon black pepper
8 lasagna noodles
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups baby spinach (roughly chopped)
2 cups baby kale (roughly chopped)
1 cup zucchini (grated)
1 ½ cups ricotta cheese (low-fat, (15 ounces))
⅓ cup parmesan cheese (grated)
1 cup mozzarella cheese (grated, divided)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 pinch nutmeg (grated, (optional))
2 tablespoons parsley (minced, for garnish)
1 cup tomatoes (peeled and diced)
2 tablespoons basil (thinly sliced)

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-low heat. Sauté onion and garlic until onions are translucent, about 3 minutes.
  • Add tomato paste and stir well. Add crushed tomatoes, oregano, and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes covered with the lid left slightly open. Season tomato sauce with salt and pepper, plus more to taste as needed. Meanwhile, make the lasagna rolls.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 13" x 9" baking dish.
  • Cook lasagna noodles in salted boiling water according to the package directions. Cook a few extra noodles in case they break. Drain noodles and quickly lay out on a clean towel to dry and cool down.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add spinach, kale, and zucchini. Saute until vegetables are wilted, about 3 minutes.
  • Combine vegetable mixture with 1 ½ cups ricotta, ⅓ cup parmesan, ⅔ cup mozzarella, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Taste filling and add more seasoning as needed.
  • Spread 3-4 tablespoons of filling over the length of each noodle (8 total). Leave about ½-inch of space at the end of the noodle so the cheese does not come out at the end as you roll. Roll the noodles from bottom to top, but not too tight.
  • Place in the greased baking dish side by side. Pour about 1 cup tomato sauce evenly over the rolls and sprinkle the remaining ⅓ cup mozzarella over the top.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until heated through and sauce is bubbling.
  • Combine the diced tomato and basil together in a small bowl. Serve lasagna rolls topped with the tomato basil topping and garnish with chopped parsley.

Sunny's Easy Tomato and Basil Lasagna Roll-Ups image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

24 lasagna noodles (from about two 1-pound packages)
Kosher salt and black pepper
One 15-ounce container ricotta
4 cups shredded 2- to 6-cheese blend that contains mozzarella (along with provolone, Parmesan, Asiago, pecorino or jack cheese)
1 cup chopped fresh basil, plus more for garnish
1 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley, plus more for garnish
1 teaspoon red chile flakes
2 large eggs, whisked
Zest of 1 lemon
One 24-ounce jar tomato and basil pasta sauce
Grated Parmesan, for garnish

Steps:

  • Steam your noodles: Place noodles in a metal baking pan with sides, making sure to spread out. Pour steaming-hot salted water over the top, moving noodles around a bit to be sure the water gets between them. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and let rest for 20 to 25 minutes. When ready to assemble, remove one at a time as you go and pat dry.
  • Make the filling: Add the ricotta, cheese blend, basil, parsley, red chile flakes, egg, lemon zest, a pinch of salt and a few hefty grinds of black pepper to a large bowl. Stir to combine.
  • Assemble: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Add half the tomato sauce to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and spread or tilt to even it out. Take one lasagna noodle and lay flat on the counter, then add a scoop of filling to the center and spread it along the length. Roll up the noodle and place it standing on end in the dish, nestling the rolls together as you go to hold the seams secure. Repeat with the rest of the noodles until the dish is full. Pour over remaining tomato sauce and spread to even out. Cover dish with aluminum foil.
  • Bake until sides are bubbly and a few edges are golden, about 20 minutes. Uncover and cook until edges begin to brown, another 5 to 10 minutes. Garnish with Parmesan and more herbs.

Provided by MariaGiovene

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
3 eggs
1 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, sliced
3 (6 ounce) cans tomato sauce
salt to taste
6 leaves fresh basil
1 bunch fresh spinach
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon butter
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 (7 ounce) container ricotta cheese
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Place flour on a work surface and make a well in the center. Add eggs, 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Beat eggs using a fork, progressively incorporating the surrounding flour to make a sticky dough. Grease your hands with some oil and knead dough for 10 minutes into a smooth and soft ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat and cook onion until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add tomato sauce and increase heat to medium. Season with salt and cook, covered, until sauce starts to thicken, about 15 minutes. Add basil and remove from heat, but keep warm.
  • Combine spinach and water in a skillet over medium heat and cook until spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes. Drain spinach in a sieve and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Return spinach to the skillet. Add Parmesan cheese, butter, and garlic; cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Discard garlic and allow spinach to cool.
  • Chop cooled spinach and combine with ricotta, nutmeg, salt, and pepper for the filling.
  • Remove pasta dough from the refrigerator and roll out on a clean work surface into a very thin rectangle. Spread spinach filling on top, leaving a 1/2-inch border on all 4 sides. Roll up dough from the long side and seal well on the edges so filling won't leak out.
  • Soak a large piece of parchment paper in water and squeeze out well. Wrap the lasagna roll with the damp parchment paper and tie up the ends like a piece of candy.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna roll in the boiling water for about 12 minutes. Drain. Discard parchment paper and let cool slightly.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Slice the lasagna roll into 1/2-inch pieces and place in a casserole dish. Cover with tomato sauce and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

  • Roll the lasagna rolls tightly: This will help to keep them from unravelling during baking.
  • Bake the lasagna rolls until they are golden brown and bubbly: This will ensure that they are cooked through.
