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.

Recipe information

  • Total Time

    3 hours 30 minutes

  • Yield

    Serves 6

Ingredients

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

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    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.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix the ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and eggs. Stir in the spinach.

    Step 3

    Pour 1/2 jar of marinara sauce into the bottom of a slow cooker, spreading evenly.

    Step 4

    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.

    Step 5

    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.
