I love a good lasagna, but sometimes you just need to switch it up and make something a little bit different. This recipe for spinach lasagna roll-ups ended up being a big hit with my entire family. It’s an easy lasagna roll-ups recipe without meat.

Family-friendly spinach lasagna roll-ups recipe

For whatever reason, the roll-ups seem to really please kids and they are likely to eat it all. My 6-year-old even asked for seconds. 

Now, even though it’s kid-friendly, it still has semi-refined tastes. It’s got that classic ricotta cheese flavor going on and it’s mixed with fresh baby spinach which adds another layer of flavor and texture. Plus, it’s healthy. So you’re basically eating healthy food, right? 😉

What is a lasagna roll-up?

A lasagna roll-up can be made with the same ingredients as traditional lasagna but the noodles are rolled instead of layered. They are less messy than lasagna because they do not fall apart as easily. 

How to make lasagna roll-ups?

1. Cook lasagna noodles. Start by cooking the lasagna noodles and letting them cool slightly.

2. Add filling. Spread filling in an even layer on top of lasagna noodle, leaving 1/4 inch of space around edges.

3. Roll. Carefully roll up the filled lasagna noodles length-wise and arrange in a casserole dish.

4. Top with sauce. Once all noodles are rolled and placed in the casserole dish, top with sauce, cheese, and butter.

5. Bake. Bake in a 375-degree oven covered for 25 minutes and uncovered for an additional 5 minutes.

How to freeze lasagna roll-ups?

To make this into a freezer meal, prepare to the point of baking, but do not bake. Wrap up casserole dish with two layers of foil. Label and date the foil with a permanent marker. Freeze up to 3 months. To prepare from frozen, add an additional 20 minutes of baking time and continue to bake casserole until center is hot and bubbly. You can also read our tutorial on how to freeze casseroles.
