Spinach Lasagna Rolls



Ingredients:

9 cooked lasagna noodles (I make a couple extra in case one breaks)
10 oz frozen chopped spinach
15 oz fat free Ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 egg, lightly beaten
salt and pepper to taste
28 oz light spaghetti sauce (or can of crushed tomatoes)
1 cup light mozzarella



Preheat oven to 350.

To thaw spinach:  Place frozen spinach block in a clean kitchen towel, and put the towel into a bowl.



Microwave for 3-5 minutes.  Once it's done, twist it in the towel and wring out all the liquid into the bowl so the spinach is dry (it's gross - looks like swamp water).



In a large mixing bowl, combine spinach, Ricotta, Parmesan, egg, salt and pepper.



Ladle about 1 cup of sauce into a 9 x 13 baking dish.



Lay out your cooked noodles on a piece of wax paper or on a large cutting board.  Take about 1/3 cup of cheese mixture and spread it evenly over each noodle.



Then roll.  Place each seam-side down in the baking dish.



Ladle remaining sauce over noodles.  Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over the top.



Cover with foil and bake 40 minutes.  Enjoy!
