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.

What is the green in the ricotta? You left that out of the recipe. Basil, parsley?
Sorry about that, Heather. It is 2 tbsp chopped parsley. I’ll correct it on the ingredients.
With start of school coming up soon, this is the perfect healthy lasagna to make ahead for the week.
How many calories are in one?
This recipe is truly going to depend on each individual brand of product you use, measure and weigh on a food scale in addition to scan to calculate everything via y fitness pal or spark people to obtain the calories. I have a 2qt (8″×11″) baking dish and this what I did using these products and cutting back on some sauce and cheese.
8 lasagna noodles (golden grain)
18.81 fl oz sauce (bertolli organic / tomato basil)
15 oz part skim ricotta (galbani)
5 oz low moisture-part skim mozzarella (kraft)
.39 oz parmesan (Sargento hard grating)
1 extra large egg (size I had on hand)
I used 1/2 cup sauce to coat my dish, put the 3 tbsp of ricotta on each noodle, but only 1 tbsp of sauce to spread inside each. I added 1 tbsp to the interior of each also. After I rolled them a added 2 tbsp of sauce to the top of each and the remainder of the mozzarella ounces I had weighed on top of all the rolls. I did not add additional parmesan. Based on what I used, the addition of 1 more lasagna noodle and cutting back a ton on cheese and a bit of sauce I got 294 calories per each roll-up.
Obviously the more cheese you use, the more calories. So hope this helps. My family truly enjoyed the recipe, even with modifications
Thanks a lot for your comment, Ivy. You are totally right. The amount of calories will depend on each individual brand of product you choose to use. I am glad you calculated the calories for this recipe and I am very happy to know that you and your family loved this recipe 😉

Quick and easy. My family loves it. It’s a go to meal for us now.
Amazing!
Is there a way to tell me the saturated fat for a serving? Trying to calculate weight watchers freestyle points! Thanks!
Just added this information for you. Thanks for your question 😉
My family loved it! Delicious with a salad and bread.
Cool. Thanks for stopping by 😉
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! 🙂
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 😉
