Spinach Lasagna Rolls

I came upon a recipe for Spinach Lasagna Rolls on Skinny Taste's website yesterday and decided to give it a try. 
Before going into the oven
My mom came over with my niece and she brought along a few of the ingredients with her. We did alter the recipe a bit and added chopped mushrooms and onions.

Here are the ingredients as written by Gina on Skinny Taste:
9 lasagna noodles, cooked
10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and completely drained
15 oz fat free ricotta cheese (I like Polly-o)
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




We were splitting a recipe for us to each have for dinner tonight (she took her's home with her uncooked), so we used 14 whole wheat noodles, 16oz spinach and 26oz of sauce (all I had) a container of fresh mushrooms and 1 onion. She took 8 of the noodles I used 6. It is quite simple to make just mix the spinach, ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, mushrooms, onion, egg and spices, spoon onto noodles, top with sauce and cheese and cook for 40 minutes at 375.

Cutting up some onion

We each used a cutting board to spoon on our mixture.


Spread the spinach mixture on the noodles

Here it is rolled up and in the dish prior to sauce and cheese.
I used a small dish so they would fit in nice and tight
Finally here it is fresh out of the oven paired with some steamed veggies. For us this recipe was just okay. We felt like it needed something else, even with the added onion and mushrooms. I think if I were to make this again I might use some more spices. 

And a little cutie after dinner just for good measure :) (pay no attention to her socks which I didn't realize how much they didn't match)
