These lasagna roll-ups are so amazingly good…Really! They’re a cinch to make since they use a jarred sauce. The whole grain lasagna noodles taste great and add fiber. Each vegetarian, lasagna roll-up has 220 calories and 5 grams of fat. One is very satisfying, so you’ll only need to serve it with a salad or vegetable dish. I love serving them with my Super Low Calorie Caesar Salad on a Stick. Enjoy your dinner!
Ingredients
- 9 whole-grain or whole wheat lasagna noodles, see shopping tips
- 1 cup onions, chopped
- 1 (10 oz) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained, and squeezed dry
- 1 (15 oz) container fat-free ricotta cheese or light ricotta, see shopping tips
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 egg, I like Eggland’s Best
- A little salt and fresh pepper, to taste
- 1 (24 oz) jar pasta sauce, I like Classico Tomato Basil or Prego
- ⅔ cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9 x 12 baking dish with cooking spray.
- Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions. Once cooked, rinse and drain. Lay noodles on paper towels and blot them with paper towels to completely dry.
- In the meantime, on a microwave-safe plate or small bowl, add onions and cook in the microwave for about 2 minutes, until soft.
- Combine cooked onions, spinach, ricotta, Parmesan, egg, and a little salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Ladle about 1 cup sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.
- Take ⅓ cup of ricotta mixture and spread evenly over each 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 evenly with the mozzarella cheese. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 35 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
- To serve: spoon a little sauce on the plate and top with 1 lasagna roll-up.

The skinny lasagna roll-ups look really good. Have you ever frozen these? One person household and I have been searching for a lasagna recipe that freezes and reheats well. Single serving roll-up version would be perfect. Thanks for your suggestions.
Dee, although I’ve never tried to freeze this lasagna recipe, I’m pretty sure it will freeze just fine.
Enjoy!

This recipe is delicious! I didn’t get as many roll ups because I used more stuffing then it called for. But they were AMAZING! I put the leftovers in food saver bags and froze 2 to a package. I simply take a package out in the am to thaw and pop it in the oven with a little sauce over it and it tastes just like you made them. So these freeze well for the previous reviewer. Thanks for many great recipe ideas. I’m a fan of your blog.
I LOVE your feedback Diane. Thanks so much! All wonderful input.
i’m so glad you are enjoying my site.
Happy skinny cooking!
My best,
Nancy
