Ideal for a comforting dinner or a special gathering, these roll-ups blend savory goodness with nutritional greens, promising both flavor and satisfaction.
Ingredients
250 g ground beef (minced beef) - preferably organic for richer flavor
1 cup spinach - fresh, roughly chopped
1 medium white onion - diced
2 cloves garlic - minced- 1 cup tomato passata - organic for best taste
1 tsp Italian seasoning
8 pieces lasagna sheets - pre-cooked or oven-ready
1 cup ricotta cheese - whole milk for creaminess
1 cup mozzarella cheese - shredded
2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes, then add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Add the beef mince to the skillet, cooking until browned while breaking it up with a spoon, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted.
- Reduce heat to low, add the tomato passata, and let simmer for 5 minutes.
- Lay the lasagna sheets on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of ricotta cheese over each sheet, then spoon the beef and spinach mixture on top.
- Roll each lasagna sheet tightly and place in a baking dish seam-side down. Top with remaining passata and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 25 minutes until cheese is bubbling and golden.
Notes
For a touch of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the beef mixture. Use fresh herbs like basil or parsley for garnish.
