Roasted Vegetable Lasagna Roll Ups

These Roasted Vegetable Lasagna Roll Ups are a great dinner recipe to try out on your family!

How these Roasted Vegetable Lasagna Roll Ups came to be:

I was cleaning out my pantry like a madwoman recently and found some lasagna noodles- EIGHT, to be exact. It wasn’t enough to make a full-blown, proper classic lasagna, so I set to work thinking up something else to do with these pesky leftover noodles. I thought maybe I could break them apart and use them as pasta pieces in lasagna soup, but since the weather is warm, that wasn’t the best idea. Roasted Vegetable Lasagna Roll Ups came to mind. Roll ups with a lasagna-like filling was the perfect option since it would be a good amount of food for dinner for my family, and there would be leftovers too.

🛒 Ingredients Needed:

carrot
red bell pepper
zucchini
corn on the cob
red onion
olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Ricotta cheese
Parmesan cheese
egg
Swiss, Mozzarella or Gouda cheese
lasagna noodles
butter
all purpose flour
evaporated milk
nonfat milk

✏️ How to Roast Vegetables:

I snuck some roasted veggies into my lasagna filling because I had some random vegetables lurking in my vegetable drawer. They’re pretty easy to sneak in there since the sauce covers everything up. The roasted lends a sweetness to the veggies, which really bumps up the flavor in the dish. Use whatever veggies your family will eat. In this recipe here, I use carrots, red bell peppers, red onion, zucchini and corn. The veggies are tossed with olive oil and salt/pepper and are roasted for about 40 minutes. It’s nice to roast them in the morning (before the day gets too warm), and then just let them cool and refrigerate them until dinnertime.

✏️ How to assemble Lasagna Roll Ups:

*The complete, printable recipe is in the recipe card at the end of this post.

PREPARE THE FILLING:

Cook the noodles while you’re making your filling. In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, Parmesan, egg and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Add the cooled vegetables and mix together.

NOODLES:

Lay the cooked noodles onto a flat surface (it’s good to lay them on some waxed paper if you have some, or spray a baking sheet lightly with nonstick spray).

PREPARE THE SAUCE:

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour. Whisk in the warmed milks (I just warm a little in the microwave) gradually. Continue to cook over medium heat, whisking constantly for about 3 minutes, then mix in the salt, pepper and Parmesan. Continue to whisk until the sauce begins to thicken, then remove from heat.*TIP: You can add a little of the “other” cheese in there, if you’d like too (I used a small sprinkle of Swiss)

ASSEMBLE AND BAKE:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 13×9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Pour sauce into the dish- just enough to cover the bottom. Spread a few tablespoons of the filling onto each lasagna noodle (as pictured). Sprinkle with shredded cheese (Swiss, mozzarella or gouda). Roll up each lasagna noodle and place, seam-side-down, into the pan. Drizzle the remaining sauce on top. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 10 minutes.

Then you have dinner! These roasted vegetable lasagna roll ups are slightly sweet (from the veggies) and cheesy and creamy. My husband and I both love them. Kids might like them too if they can overlook the veggies.

❤️ What I Love About Roasted Vegetable Lasagna Roll Ups:

They are so easy to make.

It’s nice to incorporate a bunch of veggies into a pasta dinner. And it’s especially nice that you can just use whatever veggies you have in your refrigerator.

There’s a lot of cheese in these roll-ups. Yum!
