Enjoy lasagna rolled up into fantastic spinach lasagna rolls! This dish is light and hearty all at the same time and one of my kids’ favorites.
Sometimes I have a really hard time getting my kids to eat veggies. This is one of those recipes that I secretly do my evil laugh while they eat it. Full of veggies, low in calories, and so full of flavor they have no idea they’re eating something healthy. It’s a beautiful thing! Each lasagna roll has 224 calories and 6 Weight Watchers points. Can’t beat that!

Bob Hadd says
I’m going to cook this with Alfredo sauce.
Alli says
Bob, that is a fantastic idea! Please let me know how it turns out!
Nancy Holdener says
How can you use 1/3 of the sauce and then finish 8 more. Is this an error in the recipe? Please hurry, I want to try this recipe.
Alli says
The rest of the sauce is used to ladle over the top of each roll. They won’t all be completely covered and it won’t be used when rolling up each roll. Just to ladle on top of each individual roll.
Nancy Holdener says
Actually I wasn’t talking about the sauce. The recipe says to use 1/3 of the ricotta mixture on 1 piece of lasagna. While I was typing this note I realized my mistake. It says 1/3 CUP not 1/3 of the ricotta mixture. Thank you for answering so quickly. I figured I’d leave the part of the note I was typing so you could plainly see MY error. Thanks..
Terri MacKay says
I’m not a big spinach fan, so I used kale. I chopped it into small pieces and steamed it down and used it in place of the spinach. DELICIOUS!!!
Alli says
That’s great, Terri! Thanks so much for letting me know how it turned out. I’ll have to try it with kale!
Tori says
Does this item freeze well to reheat later?
Alli says
I have never tried freezing these. But my guess is that they would freeze well.
