My first attempt at Meatless Monday! How did yours go?

Well, it's Tuesday, so that means yesterday was supposed to be meatless. How did you do? Did you make a meatless meal for your family? I posted a blog last week discussing the merits, both for health and frugality, of having one night a week meat-free. It doesn't have to be Monday, of course. Any night that works for you is fine.

I'm going to share one of my favorite vegetarian meals that we just had for supper. Hope you enjoy it!

Spinach Stuffed Lasagna Rolls

10-12 Uncooked Lasagna Noodles
1 small bag of fresh spinach (About 4 cups unprocessed)
1/2 onion
1 8oz container of ricotta cheese
1 egg slightly beaten
8-10 ounces of grated Parmesan cheese
Garlic, Basil, Oregano and black pepper to taste
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups mozzarella cheese
1 Jar of your Favorite Pasta Sauce

While boiling your lasagna noodles, chop the spinach and onion in a food processor.

 If you don't have one, just chop it really well with a knife. 

In a medium bowl, mix the chopped vegetables, ricotta, egg, Parmesan cheese and spices.

Drain the noodles and allow to cool slightly so that you can handle them. Take one noodle and spread the spinach mixture down the length and then roll it up. Place into a 9 X 13 baking dish. 

Repeat until all mixture is gone. 

Next, pour tomato sauce over the top of all the rolls until they are covered completely in sauce. 

Sprinkle mozzerella cheese over the top of the sauced rolls.

Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 35 minutes. Take the foil off and put back in oven and cook a few minutes more until your cheese is brown.

Enjoy!
