Legit: Skinnytaste Spinach Lasagna Rolls

I get little kid excited when I find a recipe that is healthy, easy and yummo.  A little "recipe trifecta", if you will. 

I bought all of my ingredients from Aldi (except the tomato sauce & spinach, which I already had on hand) and the bill was about $20. This recipe makes 9 servings, so you do the math.  Eating at home is sooooo much more economical than eating out.  It's disgusting what you will spend at a restaurant compared to what you will spend having a home cooked meal. Literally disgusting. 

I know a lot of you of you are familiar with the blog Skinnytaste, and if you aren't, then you need to get acquainted.  Gina, the blog's author, features the low-fat, healthy version of all of our favorite full-fat dishes. 

Last night I tried one of her reader's faves: Spinach Lasagna Rolls.  Can we say heaven in my mouth?  Perfectly portioned individual lasagnas at 225 calories a pop.  Don't mind if I do.  Each serving is 6 WW Points+ for those of you keeping track like moi (Down 5 lbs in 2 weeks btw. Thank you boot camp & WW!).   

My brother aka the roomie thinks I'm insane for taking pictures as I cook.  Keep side-eyeing me bro, but I must give the readers what they want. 

Ingredients:

9 lasagna noodles, cooked

10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and completely drained

15 oz fat free ricotta cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 egg

salt and fresh pepper

32 oz tomato sauce

9 tbsp (about 3 oz) part skim mozzarella cheese, shredded

While my noodles were boiling, I mixed together the spinach, parm, ricotta, egg, salt and pepper in a bowl.

Once noodles are cooked and dried, scoop and spread 1/3 C of the ricotta mix on each noodle:

Ladle a cup of spaghetti sauce (I'm clearly not Italian, so the canned sauce is fine by me.) in bottom of casserole dish before rolling and placing seam side down dish.  Top each roll with remaining sauce and 1 tbsp of mozz cheese.

Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 40 minutes.  Bam!

Dinner is served! 

Spring salad with baby carrots, cucumber, green olives, fat free croutons, fresh ground pepper and bacon bits served as a side.

Check out the spinach lasagna recipe page for step-by-step instructions.  If I can whip this up in less than 30 minutes, then you can too. 

I could spend hours stalking her blog and drooling over the recipes.  Up next I've decided I'm giving her Pork Chops with Dijon Herb Sauce a whirl.  What recipe of hers is your stomach eyeing?
