Ingredients
Scale
Lasagna Base
- 10 lasagna noodles, pre-cooked until tender
Filling
- 1 cup plant-based ricotta cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 8 slices smoked turkey slices
Topping and Sauce
- 2 cups marinara sauce (natural)
- 1 cup shredded plant-based mozzarella cheese
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients and Pasta: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Boil the lasagna noodles in salted water until al dente. Drain carefully and lay the noodles flat on a clean surface to cool slightly, preventing sticking and making rolling easier.
- Make the Filling: In a bowl, mix plant-based ricotta cheese, finely chopped fresh spinach, minced garlic, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and natural gelling agent. Stir well until creamy, smooth, and evenly combined with balanced seasoning.
- Assemble the Roll Ups: Place one cooled lasagna noodle on a flat surface. Spread a generous layer of the filling evenly over the noodle, then layer two smoked turkey slices on top. Roll the noodle tightly from one end to the other, creating a neat cylinder. Repeat with all remaining noodles.
- Bake with Sauce and Cheese: Spread a thin layer of natural marinara sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the roll ups seam-side down in the dish. Pour the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the tops and sprinkle shredded plant-based mozzarella cheese. Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese melts to a golden finish.
- Garnish and Serve: After baking, garnish with fresh basil leaves. Allow the roll ups to rest for a few minutes before serving to help them set perfectly, making plating and slicing easier.
Notes
- Do not overfill the noodles to avoid unrolling during baking.
- Use non-stick spray lightly on your baking dish to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Apply sauce generously to help keep noodles moist while baking.
- Cool noodles properly after boiling to prevent tearing and maintain roll up integrity.
- Let the dish rest before serving to meld flavors and make slicing easier.
