Mushroom and Spinach Alfredo Lasagna Rolls

This is an adaptation of these Spinach Lasagna Rolls I made a few months ago. These lasagna rolls have become almost a constant in our dinner rotations. I love doing them for #meatlessmonday, and I've been loving doing them with alfredo sauce. So this is my latest reinvention of the recipe.

INGREDIENTS:

• 9 lasagna noodles
• 1 small container ricotta 
• 1 egg
• 2 - 3 cups shredded mozzarella
• 6 oz frozen spinach (thawed and drained)
• 6 oz fresh mushrooms (washed and patted dry)
• 2 tablespoons of butter
• salt and pepper 
• 1 jar of alfredo sauce (I like Newman's Own)

 Bring lasagna noodles to a boil, 

and boil just until softened and pliable. About 6 minutes.

While your noodles are cooking, prepare the ricotta mixture. 

In a bowl combine the ricotta, egg, salt and pepper and 2 tablespoons 

shredded mozzarella. Stir to combine.

Set aside a small bowl with about a cup of shredded cheese. 

In a small sautee pan melt butter over medium high heat. Add in mushrooms, salt and pepper and sauté about 5 minutes. Add in spinach, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.

You now have everything prepared and you can start with the assembly. 

Place about 1/2 cup of alfredo sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.

Lay 3 lasagna noodles out at a time on your work surface. Layer on some ricotta.

Then a little of the spinach and mushroom mixture.

Sprinkle a little shredded cheese on top, then roll each noodle up- the fun part!

Spoon remaining alfredo sauce on the tops of all the rolls. 

Top with shredded cheese. The more the better.

Bake @ 350 for 25 minutes. Broil 1-2 minutes to get a nice golden 

crust on the cheese!

Served with croustinis and salad. Perfecto!

I really enjoy making and eating lasagna rolls. I think there are a few reasons that make the way I do this very appealing. #1- It makes perfect portions. #2- You can usually do this 2 times with 1 box of lasagna noodles. #3- Its fun to lay out and actually make with your hands. #4- The portions that are leftover are great to reheat the next day for lunches! That concludes my lasagna roll campaign - Cheers!
