This is one of my favorites but if you have a little more time on your hands and are inclined to make your own, my roasted tomato sauce is a fast and flavorful time saver. Frozen spinach adds heft and health to the cheesy filling. Use frozen chopped spinach that’s been thawed. Squeeze the thawed spinach well to avoid a watery filling.

    03 Method
    • Step 1
      Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
    • Step 2
      In a small bowl, stir together all of the filling ingredients (using only 1/2 cup of the mozzarella and setting the remainder aside.)
    • Step 3
      In a small bowl, whisk together the marinara sauce and spices.
    • Step 4
      Spread 2/3 cup of the marinara sauce mixture in a thin layer on the bottom of a 2-quart rectangular baking dish. Set aside.
    • Step 5
      To assemble the lasagna roll-ups, lay a lasagna noodle on a flat surface. Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to measure out the filling for each noodle. Use your fingers to gently press the mixture in a thin, even layer across the entire lasagna noodle. Gently roll up the noodle from one end of the noodle on the short side. Be careful not to press too hard.
    • Step 6
      Place the lasagna roll-up, seam side down, in the prepared baking dish and repeat until all the lasagna noodles are filled.
    • Step 7
      Pour the remaining 1/3 cup of marinara sauce over the tops of the lasagna roll-ups. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese on top of the roll-ups.
    • Step 8
      Loosely cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil, then bake for another 15 minutes.
    • Step 9
      Garnish with parsley, basil leaves, and Parmesan cheese if desired.
