Should have made more sauce...and I added two zucchini's...one to the sauce and one to the cheese filling. It was so good! Glad it made a lot!

This was delicious!!! I was skeptical about the amount of spinach, but it was WONDERFUL! I made mine with whole wheat lasagna noodles, used a total of 2 jars of sauce (mmmm saucy!) and made 12 roll ups out of the filling. I topped with some browned beef (cooked with some minced garlic and onions for a little extra kick) and just tossed it on there with a little extra mozzarella. I covered my roll ups for the first 25 minutes of cooking and uncovered the last 5 to help melt the cheese and thicken the sauce a bit. SUPER GOOD! Thank you so much for the fabulous and EASY recipe!

I love these! I do make mine slightly different. From personal preference, I use cottage cheese in place of ricotta cheese. I use about 2 cups total of grated parmesan cheese- I cup in the cheese mixture and 1 cup on top with some mozzerella. Oh- and I usually add in about 1 lb of turkey burger or sausage too.

BRILLIANT recipe - very easy and hands on fun - (get the kids involved or your dinner date for a fun time in the kitchen.). Really nice taste and consistency. For a low fat version, I subbed low fat cottage cheese for the ricotta and topped with grated fat-free mozzerella and added Italian spices and lots of fresh garlic. Also freezes up well for take-along lunches!

this is a great recipe, I have yet to find a jar spaghetti sauce that I like so I use my own. This allows a lot of room for improv. I usually add some cottage cheese and italian sausage
