Weight Watchers Lasagna Rolls Recipe

Weight Watchers Recipe of the Day: Skinny Lasagna Rolls

I love lasagna. It's a family favorite and longtime Christmas Day Tradition dating back to when I was a kid.

But I have never really figured out how to make anything less than a huge pan of it, which is where these yummy Weight Watchers Friendly Lasagna Rolls come in.

Skinny WW Spinach Beef Lasagna Rolls

They're a great lighter, healthier portion-controlled alternative when you have a hankering for lasagna.

Recipe Notes

I adapted this Weight Watchers recipe from the I Love Leftovers: 175+ Delicious Recipes to Serve Now or Later (affiliate link) cookbook.

Ground beef, chopped mushrooms, garlic, spinach, ricotta cheese and basil are combined into a tasty stuffing that is spread on cooked lasagna noodles that are then rolled up like pinwheels, placed in a baking dish, topped with jarred marinara sauce and baked until hot and bubbly.

You can easily adapt this recipe for skinny lasagna rolls to suit your tastes.

I sometimes use ground turkey, or Italian turkey sausage, instead of beef and cottage cheese in place of ricotta.

Chopped zucchini would be a good addition too.

Ingredients

• ▢ 6 whole wheat lasagna noodles
• ▢ 2 teaspoons olive oil
• ▢ ½ pound lean ground beef
• ▢ ½ pound crimini mushrooms, roughly chopped
• ▢ 2 garlic cloves, minced
• ▢ 5 ounces fresh baby spinach
• ▢ ½ cup part-skim ricotta cheese
• ▢ ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
• ▢ 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• ▢ 1 jar (15 - 16 ounces) fat-free marinara sauce

Instructions

• Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions, then drain and rinse the noodles and drain them well again. (I used the Barefoot Contessa method: soaking them in really hot water until tender enough to roll, about 30 minutes.)
• Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet (affiliate link) set over medium-high heat. Add the beef, mushrooms, and garlic. Cook, breaking up the beef and stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender, about 10 minutes.
• Add the baby spinach and cook, stirring constantly, until the spinach begins to wilt, about 2 minutes.
• Transfer the beef mixture to a bowl and let it cool slightly then add the ricotta, basil, and 2 tablespoons of Parmesan and stir until well mixed.
• Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Coat a 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
• Spread ½ cup marinara sauce over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place the cooked noodles on a flat surface, making sure they're nice and dry. Spread the beef mixture evenly over the noodles. (There should be about ⅓ cup for each noodle.) Beginning with a short end, carefully roll each one up like a jelly-roll and place in the baking dish, seam side down.
• Pour the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the lasagna rolls. Loose cover with foil and bake until hot and bubbly, about 30 minutes.
• Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of Parmesan and serve.
• You can also prepare the rolls, cover and then place them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months before baking. If frozen, thaw in the refrigerator overnight before baking.
