Ingredients

Scale

Pasta

  • 12 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained

Filling

  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, plus extra for topping
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Sauce

  • 2 cups marinara sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the noodles: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until they are tender. Drain them well and lay them flat on a sheet of parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Sauté the shrimp and spinach: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the chopped shrimp and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until they turn just pink. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  3. Make the filling mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, egg, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the cooled shrimp and spinach mixture until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  4. Assemble the rolls: Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Place a spoonful of the shrimp and cheese filling along one end of each lasagna noodle and roll it up tightly. Arrange the rolls seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Top and bake: Pour the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the pasta rolls. Sprinkle extra shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese topping is melted and bubbly.
  6. Rest and serve: Allow the stuffed pasta rolls to rest for a few minutes after baking to set. Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful shrimp and spinach stuffed pasta rolls.

Notes

  • Chop the shrimp finely to make rolling and slicing the pasta rolls easier.
  • For variation, substitute ricotta cheese with cottage cheese.
  • For a creamier twist, use Alfredo sauce instead of marinara sauce.
