What's for Dinner? Day 95

Tonight Peyton started baseball practice.

This year he is on the. .

San Francisco Giants

It should be a lot of fun!

For dinner we had Lasagna Rolls (filled with Spinach)

I knew that if I told the kids what was in the middle they would whine and complain.  So I kept quiet.  They could see there was something green, but Peyton especially really likes lasagna so he just ate it and kept saying how yummy it was!

Afterwards I had them guess what was in the roll ups.  They guessed sauce and cheese and lettuce.

After they found out it was spinach Peyton was a little surprised that he liked it but admitted that he did like it.

Joe really liked them and had them for leftovers a couple of times for lunch.

Find them here and some other yummy stuff.

Ingredients:

9 lasagna noodles, cooked
10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and completely drained
15 oz fat free ricotta cheese (I like Polly-o)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
salt and fresh pepper
32 oz tomato sauce
9 tbsp (about 3 oz) part skim mozzarella cheese, shredded

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Combine spinach, ricotta, Parmesan, egg, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Ladle about 1 cup sauce on the bottom of a 9 x 12 baking dish.

Place a piece of wax paper on the counter and lay out lasagna noodles. Make sure noodles are dry. Take 1/3 cup of ricotta mixture and spread evenly over noodle. Roll carefully and place seam side down onto the baking dish. Repeat with remaining noodles.

Ladle sauce over the noodles in the baking dish and top each one with 1 tbsp mozzarella cheese. Put foil over baking dish and bake for 40 minutes, or until cheese melts. Makes 9 rolls.

To serve, ladle a little sauce on the plate and top with lasagna roll.
