Bettie's Lasagna Roll Ups

Recipe View Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Recipe View Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles for 5 to 8 minutes, or until just slightly underdone; drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. (8 minutes)

Recipe View While the noodles are cooking, prepare the filling. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, pressed tofu (crumble the tofu before adding), thawed spinach, mozzarella cheese and 1 cup of Parmesan cheese. Mix well until fully incorporated. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Lay out a cooked lasagna noodle on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the cheese mixture evenly over the noodle. Then, spoon a thin layer of pasta sauce over the cheese mixture. (2 minutes per noodle)

Recipe View Carefully roll up the noodle tightly, starting from one end. Place the roll-up, seam-side down, in a lightly greased 13x9 inch baking pan. Repeat with the remaining noodles. (2 minutes per noodle)

Recipe View Once all the roll-ups are in the pan, top with the remaining pasta sauce and sprinkle evenly with the remaining 1 cup of Parmesan cheese. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Cover the baking pan with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown. (30 minutes)

Recipe View Let the lasagna roll ups rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly. (10 minutes)
