This is something that I make once in awhile to liven up lasagna. It is really simple to make and freezes quite well.
You will need the following:
- 1 pkg lasagna shells–cooked
- 1 pkg ricotta cheese
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 pkg spinach, drained and squeezed
- meat sauce–made from hamburger and spaghetti sauce.
Mix the ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan in a small mixing bowl.
Unroll the noodles and sprinkle with part of the cheese mixture. Then add a bit of the spinach. Roll up the noodle and you are finished.
Put seam side down in baking pan.
Cover with meat sauce and bake 350 for 40 minutes. You can also freeze this for a later meal.
Yuummm!!
I know this is going to be a shocker, but I have a question. Lol
Once you make these lazagna roll ups, and then put the sauce on, do you cook it first then freeze it? And when you take it out of the freezer, do you thaw it out completely before baking or can you cook it from frozen state.
As long as you cover the noodles completely you can freeze before you bake them:)
Since I have found your blog, it has made it so much easier for me to think of meals for my family. I do not like to eat out, each time we have gone out, I see how much we spend, and I think of how much food I could of bought for the week and in making a double batch one for the freezer. Your foods that you make and I would call “normal foods”. Its the foods we all normally have in our home. I thank you so much for all of your recipe’s and for just being a good person. 🙂
I am glad that you are enjoying my simple meals:) Thanks for being here and commenting:)
Do you wash and reuse your foil containers when you freeze then bake them or do you buy more? Will be trying several of your recipes this next week while kids on Christmas break. I’m looking for easier ways to make hot meals while homeschooling at the same time. Thank you.
I do if they haven’t been destroyed by cuts:) I wish you luck and hope you got some made.
