If you prefer to stay home for your romantic Valentine’s Day dinner, why not to make a delicious, comforting meal like this Skinny Lasagna Rolls recipe? It is easy and quick to make! Also, you and your love are going to stay warm and avoid the crowded restaurants.
Happy almost-Valentine’s Day!!
The winter months tend to be full of heavy, carbohydrate-laden dishes that fill your body and keep you and your home warm. Of course, these dishes are so delicious, but they are very high in calories, too.
So, why not to lighten up your comfort-food recipes? This is what I did with these healthy, light, and skinny lasagna rolls. Comfort food can be healthy if you use the right ingredients. You don’t need to use the high fat and carb products that are out there.
You can always find better-quality and low-fat cheese to buy. For this recipe, I used part-skim milk ricotta and mozzarella to reduce the fat and calories.
I also used whole-wheat lasagna for the extra fibre you get when you cook with whole-wheat ingredients. These skinny lasagna rolls are made without sacrificing any flavor!
I have to say that this lasagna was very delicious, and this isn’t only my opinion. I invited some friends to try it, and they loved it. However, I discovered that this recipe was even more flavorful the next day! 😉 So, make it on the weekend and have the leftovers for lunch during the week without worry.
When it’s really cold outside, stay warm and cozy inside eating these skinny lasagna rolls. Why spend lots of money at a restaurant when you can make this comforting meal?

Skinny Lasagna Rolls
Ingredients
- 7 whole-wheat lasagna noodles
- 15 ounces part-skim ricotta
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 16 ounces part-skim mozzarella cheese shredded
- 4 cups homemade tomato sauce or any tomato sauce of your preference
Instructions
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, add the lasagna noodles, and cook for the time indicated on the package. Drain the pasta, rinse, and transfer to a bowl.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, parsley, egg, and Parmesan cheese. Stir well.
- Ladle about 1 cup of homemade tomato sauce into a baking dish, and spread it well.
- Start assembling your lasagna rollups by placing wax paper, aluminum foil, or a clean cutting board on the counter, and lay out lasagna noodles.
- Spread about 3 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture first and then 2 tablespoons of the homemade tomato sauce over each individual lasagna noodle. Then, sprinkle with some mozzarella cheese.
- Carefully roll up and place the seam side down in rows in the baking dish.
- After that, use the remaining tomato sauce to top the lasagna rolls. Sprinkle with Parmesan and mozzarella cheese.
- Bake covered with foil for approximately 30 minutes. Remove the foil, and bake for 15-20 minutes more until the cheese is melted.
Tips
- Shred your own cheese! Store-bought shredded cheese comes coated with a powder to prevent them from clumping, this can make the cheese grainy when melted.
- Careful not to add too much filling to the noodles or you'll have trouble rolling the noodles.
- Cook an extra noodle or two in case they break while you work with them.
- To store: Store leftover skinny lasagna roll ups in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- To reheat: You can reheat the recipe in the oven or microwave.
- To freeze: Once cooled, tightly wrap the lasagna roll ups and freeze for up to 3 months.

Since I don’t really make pasta-type dishes (to try to stay healthy) my husband was stoked when I made these lasagna rolls! As an Italian girl, I can definitely tell the difference from the real thing (full fat yuminess)…hehe but an awesome substitute when you’re having a craving! Yum yum! Question: has anyone tried this without the parsley? Maybe I didn’t chop it up fine enough but I didn’t care for the flavor or texture of it in with the cheese. Thanks! 🙂
Olivia says
Yes, this is a great recipe when you’re craving pasta, but still want to eat something healthier. For the parsley I would suggest you to chop it very well. Thanks for taking the time to write this review 😉

I believe you can freeze, but I’m not sure just because I’ve never frozen this recipe.
