Cuisine: Greek
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 lasagna noodles
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 cups Alfredo sauce
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish by lightly greasing it with cooking spray or olive oil.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente, typically 8-10 minutes. Drain and lay flat on a clean kitchen towel to prevent sticking.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated.
- Spread about 1/4 cup of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Lay each lasagna noodle flat and spread an even layer of the ricotta-spinach mixture along its length, leaving a small border at the edges.
- Carefully roll each noodle from one end to the other, creating a spiral-like roll. Place seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the lasagna rolls, ensuring they are well covered.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the rolls.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Let the lasagna rolls rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow them to set and cool slightly.
- Garnish with additional chopped spinach or fresh herbs if desired, and serve hot.
Tips
- Noodle Prep: Make sure to cook the lasagna noodles al dente, as they will continue to cook while baking. This will help prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Layering: When spreading the ricotta-spinach mixture on the noodles, aim for an even layer to ensure every bite is packed with flavor. Don't overfill, as it can be tricky to roll them up!
- Alfredo Sauce: For a homemade touch, consider making your own Alfredo sauce. It’s simple and adds a fresh flavor that store-bought versions can’t match.
- Baking Dish: If you don’t have a 9x13 inch baking dish, any similar-sized dish will work. Just make sure it’s deep enough to hold the sauce and rolls.
- Resting Time: Allow the lasagna rolls to rest for a few minutes after baking. This helps them set and makes serving easier.
- Garnish: Fresh herbs like parsley or additional chopped spinach can elevate the dish’s presentation and add a pop of color.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair your Greek Alfredo Lasagna Rolls with a crisp Greek salad or some warm, crusty bread for a complete meal!
