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.

I love that this recipe uses wonton wrappers instead of traditional lasagna noodles. It makes the rolls so much lighter and delicate.

These lasagna rolls are a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. I snuck some spinach and zucchini into the filling and they didn't even notice.

I made these lasagna rolls in advance and they reheated beautifully. They were just as good the next day.

These lasagna rolls are a great way to use up leftover lasagna noodles. I had some leftover from a previous meal and they worked perfectly in this recipe.

I used a different type of cheese in the filling because I didn't have ricotta on hand. They still turned out great!
