Lasagna Roll-ups

I saw this on Pinterest saying that it is perfect for when you want Lasagna, but don't want to have all the leftovers from cooking a full recipe. I mixed up the recipe just a little and of course, I never measure my seasonings so what is below is just a basis of what I go off of.

This was perfect for Kyle and I! We had this for dinner last night and really enjoyed it. He didn't even notice that I used ground Turkey instead of beef until I told him :) We enjoyed this with fresh sauteed spinach and green beans.

If you are good at multitasking, then this recipe will only take you about 30 minutes with prep time and cook time.

Ingredients:

6 lasagna noodles

1/2 lb. lean ground turkey

1 Tbsp. olive oil

1 clove garlic

1/2 onion

1 can crushed tomatoes

1 egg

1/2 cup ricotta cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1-1/2 Tbsp. fresh basil; chopped

1-1/2 Tbsp. fresh oregano; chopped

1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

What To Do:

Preheat oven to 350 F

Heat a large pot of water to boiling then add noodles. When noodles are done, drain and set aside.

Meanwhile, in a skillet, heat oil and add garlic and onion. Cook for 2 minutes and then add turkey. Once browned, add in tomatoes, 1/2 the basil, 1/2 the oregano and 1/2 the crushed red pepper flakes. Reduce heat and let simmer while you make the cheese mixture.

In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg. Add ricotta cheese and remaining basil and oregano. Mix well.

Spray the bottom of the cooking dish and then add a little bit of sauce mixture to the bottom.

Lay out the noodles to assemble. Add the ricotta mixture to the noodles and spread out. Top with a spoonful of the sauce mixture and roll up. Place seam side down in the pan. Continue with all the noodles. Top all the roll ups with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and then the remaining crushed red pepper flakes.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until cheese is bubbly and melted.
