Ingredients

• 12 sheets Lasagna noodles
• 1.5 cups Ricotta cheese
• 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 medium Zucchini, finely diced
• 1 medium Carrot, grated
• 1.5 cups Baby spinach, chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 large Egg
• 2 cups Marinara sauce
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or olive oil.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay the noodles flat on a clean surface to cool.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the zucchini, carrot, and spinach, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, cooked vegetables, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Take one lasagna noodle and spread about 2-3 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture evenly across its surface. Carefully roll it up and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining noodles and filling.

Step 7

Once all the roll ups are arranged in the dish, pour the remaining 1 cup of marinara sauce over the top, ensuring all the roll ups are covered. Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Let the lasagna roll ups cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley, if desired.
