Lasagna Rolls

from Cook This, Not That Easy & Awesome 350 Calorie Meals

10-12 long. thin lasagna 

6 oz Italian sausage (chicken or turkey and casings removed)

1 bag frozen spinach (we used fresh instead)

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Pinch of nutmeg

Salt & Pepper to taste

1 cup low-fat ricotta cheese

2 cups bottled marinara

3/4 cup shredded low-fat mozzarella

-Bring large pot of salted water to boil. Add noodles and cook until al dente. Drain and toss with oil to coat to keep from sticking

-While pasta cooks, cook sausage over medium heat until cooked through.  Add spinach, pepper flakes & nutmeg until warmed through.  Season with salt & pepper and set aside to cool slightly.  Then combine with ricotta in large bowl.

- Preheat oven to 400.  Spread thin layer of marina on bottom of 13x9 baking dish.  Cut each noodle in half crosswise. Working one strip at a time, place spoonful of mixture at the end of each noodle. Roll into a tight package and continue until run out of the spinach/ricotta mixture (about 20 rolls). Place roll in dish as you complete each one

- Top rolls with remaining marinara sauce, then with mozzarella.  Cover with foil and cook for 15 minutes.  Remove foil and bake another 10 minutes until cheese & sauce is bubbling.

YUMMMMMM!
