Cheesy Lasagna Rolls Vegetarian Recipes

VEGETARIAN LASAGNA ROLL UPS

Steps:

• First, bake the zucchini. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Brush zucchini slices with olive oil on both sides. Season lightly with salt. Arrange on a very large baking sheet (or use two baking sheets if needed). Bake for 10-15 minutes. When ready, remove from the oven and let cool briefly.
• Now, turn the oven heat down to 350 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, cook the lasagna noodles in boiling water with salt according to the package instructions (mine took about 12 minutes or so). As soon as the noodles are cooked through, drain them into a colander and transfer quickly to a pot of cold water to stop their cooking. Drain and lay the noodles flat on a very large tray lined with parchment paper. Set aside briefly.
• Now make the filling. In a mixing bowl, combine together the ricotta, goat cheese, shredded mozzarella, chopped parsley, garlic, salt and pepper. Add a little olive oil, no more than 1 tbsp. Mix well with a spoon until the cheese mixture is well-combined.
• Spread an even layer of the cheese filling on each of the lasagna noodles (begin with a thin layer to make sure you have enough for all the noodles. If you have some of the cheese mixture left, you can always go back and add more). Top the cheese layer with a slice of the roasted zucchini, then roll the noodles tightly, keeping the seam down.
• Prepare a 9" x 13" baking dish. Pour about 3/4 of the pasta sauce and 1/2 cup water into the bottom of the baking dish.
• Arrange the lasagna rolls carefully in the baking sheet in an upright position, then top with the remaining pasta sauce, a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, and more shredded mozzarella, if you like.
• Bake in the 350 degrees F heated oven for 40 minutes. It helps to check part-way through and if liquid is needed, add a little more pasta sauce or water.
• Remove from heat, garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve with your favorite side salad and maybe some crusty bread.

CHEESY VEGETABLE LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add lasagna noodles and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
• Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. When oil is hot add broccoli, carrots, onions, bell peppers, zucchini and garlic. Saute for 7 minutes; set aside.
• Place flour in a medium saucepan and gradually whisk in milk until well blended. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook 5 minutes, or until thick, stirring constantly. Stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper; cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in spinach. Reserve 1/2 cup spinach mixture. In a small bowl, combine cottage and ricotta cheeses; stir well.
• Spread about 1/2 cup of spinach mixture in the bottom of the prepared pan. Layer noodles, ricotta mixture, vegetables, spinach mixture, and 2 cups mozzarella cheese, ending with noodles. Top with reserved spinach mixture, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup parmesan cheese.
• Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until lightly browned on top. Cool for approximately 10 minutes before serving.

CHEESY LASAGNA ROLLS (VEGETARIAN)

Steps:

• Set oven to 350 degrees F.
• Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
• Spread about 1 cup cup of pasta sauce over the bottom of the baking dish.
• For the filling; in a medium bowl mix all filling ingredients until well combined (the filling will be very thick so I suggest to mix with clean hands).
• Using oiled fingers spread about 1/3 cup of the filling mixture all the way down over the top of each cooked lasagna noodle.
• Roll up then place seam-side down into the baking pan leaving a small amount of room between each noodle (14 rolls will fit in a 13 x 9-inch pan).
• Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top and around the rolled noodles.
• Drizzle the remaining 3 cups pasta sauce over top and around the noodles (does not have to cover completely).
• At this point you may cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
• Bake covered with foil for about 30 minutes or until completely heated through.
• Remove foil and return to oven for about 5 minutes.
