Filled with fresh spinach, ricotta, mozzarella, and beef, these Lasagna Rolls are easy to make and so very delicious! I like how easy they are to serve and how easy it is to divide them up for to-go lunches. Not only do they look incredible, but they also taste incredible, too!

What’s in These Lasagna Rolls?

This delicious recipe is a step-up from the traditional lasagna form. These spinach lasagna rolls require mostly pantry-staple ingredients. You’ll likely need to make a run to the grocery store for the cheeses and maybe some fresh spinach, but that’s it! Here’s everything you’ll need to make these great spinach lasagna rolls: 

• Oil: Olive oil, or any oil that you like to use. 
• Lasagna noodles: Cook these according to the package. 
• Ground beef: Lean  
• Onion: Yellow
• Cheese: Mozzarella cheese and ricotta 
• Egg: Just one large one
• Spinach: Use fresh spinach
• Salt and pepper: For flavor

Marinara sauce: You can make your own if you prefer, but store-bought pasta sauce works just great.

What do I need to make this recipe?

• 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 pkg lasagna noodles
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1/2 chopped yellow onion
• 1 cup ricotta
• 1 cup grated mozzarella + 1 cup for top
• 1 large egg
• 3 oz fresh spinach, chopped
• salt
• pepper
• 2 cups marinara sauce 

Another great thing about this recipe is that you can prepare the full recipe then freeze some and bake later on. It may seem pretty time consuming the first time you make these, just like any lasagna, but once you’ve made them a few times, the process will become more familiar, and much quicker!

Here are the steps you take to prepare these lasagna rolls: 

Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package (in a large pot.)

In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil in with the beef and add the salt and pepper. Stir occasionally until beef is cooked.

Chop onion and add to the skillet. Sauté for another minute.

Into the skillet, add in fresh chopped spinach, then sauté for 2 minutes. Once done, set aside to cool. 

Meanwhile in a separate bowl combine the ricotta, mozzarella cheeses, egg, as well as a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well, then add to the skillet and combine with the beef and spinach. 

• Preheat the oven to 350F.
• Prepare an oven-safe baking dish for lasagna by spreading 1/2 a cup of marinara tomato sauce on the bottom of the dish. 
• Spread the sautéed ricotta mixture over each cooked lasagna noodle.

Roll it up and place it in the prepared oven dish. (you could also cut each roll in half if you’d like to.)

Spread marinara sauce on top of the lasagna rolls. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.

Cover with foil or a dish lid. Bake for 30 minutes. 

Remove the foil and bake for another 5 minutes. (I broil for the last 2 minutes to get that darker color on top.)
