Ingredients
  

  • 12 lasagna noodles cooked al dente
  • 1 pound medium shrimp peeled, deveined, chopped
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach chopped
  • 15 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Equipment

  • 1 9x13 baking dish For baking rolls
  • 1 Large bowl For mixing filling
  • 1 sauté pan For cooking shrimp

Method
 

  1. Sauté the garlic, chopped shrimp, and spinach in olive oil until the shrimp is pink and spinach is wilted.
  2. Combine the ricotta, egg, half the mozzarella, and the cooled shrimp mixture in a bowl until smooth.
  3. Spread the mixture onto each cooked lasagna noodle and roll them up tightly to hold the shape.
  4. Place rolls in a baking dish over a layer of sauce and top with the remaining cheese.
  5. Bake at 375°F until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese topping is perfectly golden brown.

Notes

Squeeze all moisture from the cooked spinach to prevent a watery filling. Use medium shrimp for the most even bite in every roll.
