Spinach Florentine Lasagna Rollups


My dear friend and her daughter came over the other day. She's a SAHM and I had the day off so we decided to get together. She brought her cutie daughter and we made this together. This is a recipe that she had. It was very good. It's a great vegetarian recipe if you need one for friends.
(This is my friend and her sweet, sweet daughter in a wrap that she made, so talented)

Ingredients
10 oz Frozen Spinach
8 oz Cream Cheese
1/4 Cup Onion Chopped (we used 1 tsp onion powder)
1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese
1/4 tsp Pepper
1 Garlic Clove Minced (we used 1/2 Tbsp)
1 egg slightly beaten
4 oz shredded Mozzarella Cheese
10 Lasagna Noodles
1 Jar Spaghetti Sauce
A few sprigs Flat Leaf Parsley

Boil your Lasagna noodles until they are Al Dente. You don't want to over cook them because you will put them in the oven later.

While they are boiling combine your Cream Cheese and Egg in a bowl and mix thoroughly.

Then add your Spinach (rinsed in warm water and squeezed out of all water),Onion, Parmesan Cheese, Garlic, Parsley and Pepper. Mix well.

When your noodles are done rinse them under cold water in a colander.

Put one noodle flat on a cutting board. Put one heaping tablespoon in the middle and smooth out over all of the noodle. Top with a little mozzarella cheese.
(yup, it's me, in the flesh, my friend thought it might be fun to actually see me in the blog)
(ok, I'm sure you are sick of seeing me now. Back to the food)

Now preheat your oven to 350* (by the time you are done rolling it will be ready!)

Then roll up the noodle into a cute little roll up.

In a 9 x 11" pan put 1/3 of your jar of sauce on the bottom.

Put the rollup in the pan and continue to roll until all 10 are done and in the pan.

Pour the rest of jar of sauce on top and top with more Parmesan cheese.

Bake for 30 min at 350*

This was a great meal, it had a nice creamy filling and it was much quicker than a regular lasagna.
Have a great day and God Bless!
