Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 15

3-4 large zucchini, thinly sliced length-wise
Extra virgin olive oil (I used Greek Private Reserve olive oil)
Salt
1 lb lasgana noodles
1 24-oz jar pasta sauce, preferably a tomato and basil pasta sauce
1/2 cup water
Grated Parmesan cheese
crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
20 oz ricotta cheese, you can use part-skim or fat-free if you prefer
6 oz goat cheese
2 cups part-skim shredded mozzarella, more for later
1 bunch Italian parsley, stems removed, chopped (about 1 cup chopped parsley leaves)
3 tbsp chopped fresh garlic
Salt and pepper
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (I used Private Reserve Greek olive oil)

Steps:

  • First, bake the zucchini. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Brush zucchini slices with olive oil on both sides. Season lightly with salt. Arrange on a very large baking sheet (or use two baking sheets if needed). Bake for 10-15 minutes. When ready, remove from the oven and let cool briefly.
  • Now, turn the oven heat down to 350 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, cook the lasagna noodles in boiling water with salt according to the package instructions (mine took about 12 minutes or so). As soon as the noodles are cooked through, drain them into a colander and transfer quickly to a pot of cold water to stop their cooking. Drain and lay the noodles flat on a very large tray lined with parchment paper. Set aside briefly.
  • Now make the filling. In a mixing bowl, combine together the ricotta, goat cheese, shredded mozzarella, chopped parsley, garlic, salt and pepper. Add a little olive oil, no more than 1 tbsp. Mix well with a spoon until the cheese mixture is well-combined.
  • Spread an even layer of the cheese filling on each of the lasagna noodles (begin with a thin layer to make sure you have enough for all the noodles. If you have some of the cheese mixture left, you can always go back and add more). Top the cheese layer with a slice of the roasted zucchini, then roll the noodles tightly, keeping the seam down.
  • Prepare a 9" x 13" baking dish. Pour about 3/4 of the pasta sauce and 1/2 cup water into the bottom of the baking dish.
  • Arrange the lasagna rolls carefully in the baking sheet in an upright position, then top with the remaining pasta sauce, a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, and more shredded mozzarella, if you like.
  • Bake in the 350 degrees F heated oven for 40 minutes. It helps to check part-way through and if liquid is needed, add a little more pasta sauce or water.
  • Remove from heat, garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve with your favorite side salad and maybe some crusty bread.

VEGETABLE LASAGNA ROLL-UPS



Vegetable Lasagna Roll-Ups image

If you want a change from the traditional lasagna, give these vegetable roll-ups a try. It is a recipe from the Bagel Factory in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Provided by CookingONTheSide

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (16 ounce) box lasagna noodles
10 ounces frozen chopped spinach
10 ounces frozen chopped broccoli
8 ounces mushroom stems and pieces
3 egg yolks
32 ounces part-skim ricotta cheese
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 dash nutmeg
1 dash parsley flakes
1/4 cup parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Cook noodles. Drain and lay flat. Thaw spinach and broccoli. Squeeze completely dry.
  • Drain mushrooms. Empty Ricotta cheese into deep bowl, add three egg yolks, a handful of Parmesan cheese, a dash of nutmeg and parsley. Mix with spoon.
  • Add mozzarella, spinach, broccoli and mushrooms. Mix well.
  • Spread some sauce onto bottom of lasagna pan. Use rubber spatula to spread Ricotta mixture onto length of lasagna noodles and roll tightly.
  • Put roll ups into lasagna pan, seam down. Fit roll ups snuggly.
  • Add sauce to top of roll ups.
  • Add grated cheese.
  • Bake at 350 degrees uncovered for about 40 minutes.

Tips:

  • Prepare Vegetables in Advance: For convenience, wash, chop, and measure all vegetables before starting the lasagna roll-ups. This saves time and ensures you have all the ingredients ready when needed.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like basil, oregano, and thyme add a burst of flavor to the lasagna. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, use dried herbs, but reduce the amount by half.
  • Don't Overcook the Vegetables: Overcooked vegetables become mushy and lose their vibrant color. Cook them until they're tender but still have a slight crunch.
  • Drain the Vegetables Thoroughly: Before adding the vegetables to the lasagna roll-ups, drain them thoroughly to remove excess moisture. This prevents the lasagna from becoming watery.
  • Use a Variety of Cheeses: A combination of cheeses, such as ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan, adds a rich and complex flavor to the lasagna. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheeses to find your favorite combination.
  • Don't Overfill the Roll-Ups: To ensure the lasagna roll-ups hold together well, don't overfill them with the vegetable mixture. Aim for a thin, even layer of vegetables in each roll-up.
  • Bake Until Golden Brown: Bake the lasagna roll-ups until they're golden brown on top. This indicates that the cheese is melted and bubbly and the lasagna is cooked through.

Conclusion:

This vegetable lasagna roll-ups recipe is a delicious and versatile dish that can be customized to your preferences. Whether you're a vegetarian or simply looking for a healthier lasagna option, these roll-ups are a great choice. With their flavorful vegetable filling, creamy cheese mixture, and crispy edges, they're sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to enjoy this delightful lasagna variation!
