Vegetable Lasagna Roll-ups

These healthy, hearty Vegetable Lasagna Roll-ups with cheese and tomato sauce are easier to make than traditional lasagna and still super delicious! 

This is one of my favorite, whole wheat lasagna recipes because it is full of veggies. Every chance I have to add veggies in my recipes, like my Zucchini Lasagna Roll Recipe, I will do it. There is nothing more delicious than a flavorful vegetable dish. I love finding alternatives, making traditional not-so-healthy dishes healthier.

Lasagna is something I always eat in Brazil (Italian food is very popular down there since there are many Italian immigrants living in Brazil). Now I think I eat even more since my husband’s father’s family are Italian descendants. They all cook Italian food so well and from scratch! His grandma (she likes to be called Nonna), his aunts, and even his father make delicious traditional lasagna with fresh pasta and tomato sauce. Hum… so good. Ah, I can’t let my mother-in-law out of this list. She makes amazing traditional lasagna as well.

So, why I am telling you guys all that? Because when I said to my husband, “today we were going to eat veggie lasagna”, he looked at me and said, “are you kidding? I don’t want to eat lasagna without ricotta and with veggies.” I know, right? So annoying. But he always ends up eating everything I cook for us. He just does that to joke around 😉

So, in the end, he ate the lasagna dish twice. I’m not kidding … He liked it a lot. And I don’t even need to say that I loved it. It is so tasty and at the same time, it is light since I didn’t add ricotta, only mozzarella cheese. But if you want to add ricotta, go ahead. I am sure it will be delicious as well.

• Turn the heat lower and add the kale, stirring until wilted.
• Finally, season to taste with salt, pepper, and red chili flakes.
• Ladle about 1 cup of tomato sauce in a baking dish and spread it well.
• Start assembling your lasagna roll-ups by placing on wax paper, aluminum foil or a clean cutting board on the counter and lay out lasagna noodles.
• Spread about 3 tbsp of the tomato sauce and 1/3 cup of the veggies over each individual lasagna noodle. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese.
• Carefully roll up and place seam side down in rows in the baking dish. After that, use remaining tomato sauce to top the lasagna rolls. Sprinkle parmesan and mozzarella cheese.
• Bake at 375F covered with foil for approximately 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 15-20 minutes more until cheese is melted.
