Ingredients

  • 9 lasagna noodles
  • 1 ½ cups ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

How to Make Creamy Pasta Rolls with Savory Sauce

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay them flat on a clean kitchen towel.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, chopped spinach, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.
  4. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture onto each lasagna noodle, then carefully roll them up starting from one end.
  5. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the heavy cream and vegetable broth, stirring until combined. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then season with salt and pepper.
  6. In a 9×13 inch baking dish, pour a small amount of the sauce to cover the bottom. Place the rolled pasta seam-side down in the dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the top of the pasta rolls.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and the top is golden.
  9. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure to cook the lasagna noodles just until al dente; they will continue to cook in the oven.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the filling, such as mushrooms or zucchini, for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • Let the dish sit for a few minutes after baking to help the sauce thicken and settle.

Easy Variations

  • Swap the ricotta cheese for cottage cheese for a lighter option.
  • Add cooked ground meat, such as chicken or beef, to the filling for a heartier meal.
  • Try using a marinara sauce instead of the creamy sauce for a different flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

  • A fresh garden salad with a tangy vinaigrette.
  • Garlic bread for dipping into the savory sauce.
  • Steamed vegetables, like broccoli or green beans, for a nutritious side.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, about 15-20 minutes. You can also use a microwave, heating in short intervals until hot.
