Slow-Cooker Spinach Lasagna Rollups image

Change up your typical pasta casserole with these fun vegetarian lasagna rollups-they're like individually portioned mini lasagnas. The pasta tends to soak up a lot of the liquid while it cooks, so you'll want to reserve about a half jar of marinara sauce to add at the end for a properly saucy dish.

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound lasagna noodles (not no-boil)
1 (16-ounce) container ricotta
2 cups shredded mozzarella
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
2 large eggs
1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and excess water squeezed out
2 (24-ounce) jars marinara sauce, divided

Steps:

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the lasagna noodles according to the instructions on the box until barely al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix the ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and eggs. Stir in the spinach.
  • Pour 1/2 jar of marinara sauce into the bottom of a slow cooker, spreading evenly.
  • Cut each lasagna noodle in half crosswise. Spread about 1 heaping tablespoon ricotta mixture across one noodle half. Roll up the noodle and place it in the slow cooker, seam-side down. Continue with the remaining noodles and ricotta mixture.
  • Pour 1 jar of marinara sauce over the top of the rollups. Cover and cook on high for 3 hours. Pour the remaining 1/2 jar of sauce into the slow cooker and allow to heat through before serving.
