Spinach Ricotta Swirls

4 Servings


8 lasagna noodles
vegetable oil spray
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup water
6 ounces no-salt added tomato paste
2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon Italian herb seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt
20 ounces spinach
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg


Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions, omitting salt. Drain and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350F.
Lightly spray an 8-x-8-inch baking dish with vegetable oil. Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion, garlic and water. Cook until water evaporates and onion begins to sauté in oil. Stir in tomato paste, broth, herb seasoning and salt. Simmer 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat. Set aside.
Squeeze moisture out of spinach. In a bowl, combine spinach, ricotta, Parmesan, pepper and nutmeg. Spread a scant 1/3 cup filling along the length of each cooked noodle. Roll each noodle and place it on its side in prepared baking dish. Be sure sides of rolled noodles do not touch each other. Pour sauce over lasagna rolls and
bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until thoroughly.
