Spinach Lasagna Roll-Ups

Spinach Lasagna Roll-Ups are one of my favorite vegetarian freezer meals. A family favorite packed with spinach, marinara sauce, and yummy cheese!
Prep time: 25 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 55 min
Serves: 8
Serving size = 2 rollups
Ingredients
1 (16 ounce) package uncooked whole wheat lasagna noodles
1 pound mozzarella cheese, shredded, divided (separate out one cup)
1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
2 eggs, beaten
2 cloves minced garlic
2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
1 tablespoon dried basil
¼ teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon salt
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained and squeezed dry
2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided (reserve 1 cup)
2 (28 ounces) jars marinara sauce, divided (reserve 1 jar)
1-2 cooked chicken breast chopped up (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
Cook lasagna noodles for 5 to 8 minutes (I cooked them for 7 minutes), or until just slightly underdone; drain and rinse.
Coat with a bit of olive oil and lay noodles out flat on a cookie sheet.
In a large mixing bowl, mix together 1 cup mozzarella cheese (reserve 1 cup for later), ricotta cheese, egg, garlic, parsley, basil, pepper, salt, spinach, chicken (optional) and 1 cup Parmesan cheese (reserve 1 cup for later).
Spread a thin layer of sauce on bottom of 9×13 pan (or two 8×8).
Lay out a noodle on cookie sheet. Spread a layer of the cheese mixture on the noodle (I used two generous medium-sized cookie dough scoops per noodle), then add a layer of sauce (I used one cookie dough scoop of sauce).
Roll the noodle up, and place seam side down in pan.
Repeat for other noodles.
Top entire casserole with the remaining jar of sauce, remaining 1 cup mozzarella, and remaining 1 cup Parmesan cheese.
(Stop here if freezing the rollups)
Bake in a preheated 350 F degree oven for 30 min, or until hot and bubbly.
Cover with foil if it starts to get too brown.
Notes
Freezer Meal Directions:
To Freeze: Freeze this casserole after it’s put together but not baked. Be sure to tightly wrap the casserole in plastic wrap and/or foil before freezing. Or use glass containers with lids.
To Prepare: To thaw, set in fridge for 24 hours. Cook as directed.
