Lasagna Roll Ups Ingredients
- 8 lasagna noodles, cooked until just tender
- 1 cup plant-based ricotta
- 1 cup shredded plant-based cheese
- 6 slices smoked turkey bacon, diced
- 3 cups rich tomato sauce (natural)
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp mixed fresh herbs (such as basil, oregano, parsley), chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the noodles: Boil the lasagna noodles in salted water just until al dente, then drain and lay them flat on a clean surface to prevent sticking while you prepare the fillings.
- Cook the smoked turkey bacon and spinach: In a pan, sauté diced smoked turkey bacon in olive oil until crispy, then add minced garlic and fresh spinach, stirring until the spinach wilts and releases its vibrant color and flavor. Drain any excess liquid.
- Mix the cheese filling: In a bowl, combine plant-based ricotta, shredded plant-based cheese, and chopped fresh herbs, mixing until smooth and creamy with the perfect balance of texture and flavor.
- Assemble the roll ups: Spread a generous layer of natural tomato sauce on each noodle, followed by the cheese mixture and the bacon-spinach sauté. Carefully roll each noodle up, capturing all the delicious fillings inside.
- Bake to perfection: Place the roll ups seam side down in a baking dish, spoon more tomato sauce (natural) over the top, and sprinkle with extra plant-based cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until bubbly and golden, about 25-30 minutes.
Notes
- Cook noodles until tender but firm to avoid breaking during rolling.
- Drain excess liquid from spinach to prevent watery filling.
- Use fresh herbs for authentic Italian flavor.
- Let the roll ups rest a few minutes before serving for easier slicing.
- Use a serrated knife for clean cuts that keep the filling intact.
