Ingredients
Lasagna Roll Ups Ingredients
- Lasagna noodles, cooked al dente
- Plant-based cheese blend, shredded
- Smoked turkey bacon, cooked crispy and chopped
- Plant-based ricotta
- Tomato sauce (natural)
- Fresh spinach, sautéed
- Garlic powder (natural)
- Onion powder (natural)
- Fresh basil, chopped
- Natural gelling agent
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Noodles: Cook lasagna noodles in salted boiling water until just al dente. Drain and rinse with cool water to stop cooking, then lay them flat on a clean surface to keep them from sticking and for easy rolling later.
- Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: Lightly cook the smoked turkey bacon in a skillet until crispy. Drain excess fat on paper towels and chop into bite-sized pieces for layering inside the roll-ups.
- Make the Cheese Filling: In a bowl, combine plant-based ricotta, shredded plant-based cheese, sautéed spinach, garlic powder (natural), onion powder (natural), and fresh chopped basil. Mix until smooth and creamy for a flavorful filling.
- Assemble the Roll Ups: Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce (natural) on the bottom of a baking dish. Lay each noodle flat, then spread an even layer of the cheese filling mixture. Sprinkle chopped smoked turkey bacon on top, roll each noodle tightly, and place seam side down in the dish.
- Add Sauce and Bake: Pour remaining tomato sauce (natural) over the roll-ups, sprinkle with additional shredded plant-based cheese, and add a pinch of natural gelling agent to thicken the sauce slightly. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
Notes
- Do not overcook noodles; slightly underdone noodles soften perfectly in the oven.
- Use chilled filling for easier spreading and neat roll-ups.
- Layer sauce thinly to avoid soggy rolls; just enough to keep them moist is ideal.
- Let the dish rest 5-10 minutes after baking for roll-ups to hold their shape.
- Fresh basil and spinach add vibrant color and flavor.
