You can use fresh spinach in this recipe instead of frozen. Use 4 cups of fresh spinach if you plan to make this substitution. Frozen spinach is very dense, which is why this recipe only calls for 1 cup.

Ingredients

1 clove fresh garlic, minced

1⁄2 teaspoon all-purpose seasoning

1⁄2 cup reduced-fat Parmesan cheese

1 cup shredded fat-free mozzarella, divided

1 1⁄2 cup fat-free ricotta cheese

1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained

1 cup tomatoes, diced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg

1 tablespoon sugar or Splenda

6 mixed grain lasagna noodles, cooked

1 cup marinara sauce

Directions

  1. Mix garlic, all-purpose seasoning, Parmesan cheese, 1⁄2 cup mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, oregano, basil, nutmeg, and sugar. Set aside.
  2. Coat a 9″ × 13″ baking dish with nonstick spray.
  3. Cut each lasagna noodle in half lengthwise. Place 2 tablespoons of spinach mixture on one end of lasagna noodle. Roll noodle around spinach mixture and place in dish. Repeat for all noodles. Top with marinara sauce and remaining mozzarella cheese.
  4. Cover with foil and bake at 375°F for 25 minutes.
