Lasagna Roll Ups
When I saw this food post on my friend Louise's Facebook page, I was amazed. I wondered how such a classic dish could look so beautiful and exquisite. So I ventured off to make my version but only after I asked her for some tips and Googled lasagna roll-ups. I came across a video and for the life of me, can't remember the name of the person demonstrating it. I watched and thought I could follow this and use any ingredient I wanted. It was the easiest thing I ever made and it was a family winner. Here's what I did:
Ingredients:
10 Lasagna noodles (boiled)
1 16 0z. Spaghetti sauce
4 cups fresh Spinach
1 package firm tofu
2 Chicken breast
1 pack Shredded mozzarella cheese
1 table spoon Italian Seasoning
Salt to taste
Black Pepper to taste
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use 1 cup of spaghetti sauce and spread on bottom of 9x13 baking pan (set aside).
- cut chicken breasts into small cubes and brown on stove top-when chicken is cooked, add spinach and cooked just until it wilts, add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside
- In large mixing bowl, mash tofu with potato masher or fork, add chicken and spinach mixture then mix in all seasonings, taste for flavor
- Place cooked lasagna noodle on platter, use table spoon to scoop and fill lasagna noodle thoroughly. Put filling on top of spread out noodle.
- Roll lasagna noodle with filling nice and tight
- Place on baking pan with seam down
- smother top of noodle with extra spaghetti sauce
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top
- bake for 30 minutes, serve warm with spinach apple and orange salad.
- Reserve extra sauce and cheese as condiments.
- See picture below.
