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 😉

What’s up,I check your blog named “Skinny Lasagna Rolls – Primavera Kitchen” on a regular basis.Your humoristic style is awesome, keep doing what you’re doing! And you can look our website about proxy list.
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 😉
