Spinach Cheese Lasagna Rolls

THESE PICTURES ARE NOT THE BEST... SO DON'T JUDGE ME (:

For this recipe I did not really measure anything out. I knew 
what I needed to put in the recipe and just went with it. So 
I took tons of pictures to talk you through it. 

INGREDIENTS:
Lasagna Noodles
Marinara Sauce
Ricotta Cheese (fat free)
Fresh Mozzarella
Spinach
Salt 
Pepper
Parmesan (Powdered)
Red Pepper Flakes

 
DIRECTIONS:

  •  I had the noodles already made and set out to cool while getting everything else ready
  • Set the oven to 350 degrees and oil the bottom of a baking pan
  • For the spinach I put it into a bowl with some garlic and butter to soften it up (optional)
  • Mix the spinach, ricotta cheese, salt, pepper and Parmesan in a bowl
 
 
 
 Spread the mixture onto the lasagna noodles
 
 
 Roll each noodle up 
 

Pour marinara at bottom of cooking pan and place lasagna rolls on top

White pizza


 I love pizza... I could eat it all day every day! I am trying to eat as healthy as possible though so I started looking up healthy recipes I could make myself. Thanks to Pinterest (once again) I found one that is the total package. For reference I buy crust already made (whole wheat) but you can make your own crust if you would like.

INGREDIENTS:
  • Olive Oil (3 Tbs)
  • Pizza Crust 
  • Garlic- Chopped (3 Tbs)
  • Mozzarella- Fresh (8 oz)
  • Ricotta (1/2 Cup)
  • Parmesan (1/4 Cup)
  • Basil (3 Tbs)
  • Spinach (as much as you want)


DIRECTIONS:
  1.  Preheat oven to 450 degrees
  2. Spread the pizza crust with olive oil
  3. In a bowl mix the garlic, mozzarella and Parmesan and spread over pizza
  4. Add ricotta and spinach sparingly then sprinkle basil over 
  5. Bake for 8 minutes

Pretty simple.. right?! Enjoy (:
