Italian is always a welcome cuisine any night of the week… but it comes with quite a calorie punch! With my vegan cauliflower ricotta cheese filling and cutting out some extra noodle-age, you can enjoy lasagna guilt free! Great for dinner and if you make a big batch, you have plenty for a yummy leftover lunch! Enjoy!

Cauliflower Ricotta Cheese

  • 1 head of stemmed and riced cauliflower (cut off florets and pulse in food processor until cauliflower resembles rice, careful not to puree)
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cup shredded vegan mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Lasagna rolls

  • 1 box cooked lasagna noodles (gluten free, if desired)
  • Pasta sauce of choice
  • 1 cup sauteed mushrooms
  • 1 1/2 cups sauteed spinach

 

To make the cheese:

Place the “riced” cauliflower into a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 7-8 minutes (do not add water). Add in remaining ingredients until fully incorporated. Season to taste.

To assemble to rolls:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Add a thin layer of pasta sauce to bottom of the lasagna baking pan to prevent rolls from sticking, about 1/4 inch thick.

Mix mushrooms and spinach into the ricotta cheese mixture until fully incorporated.

Take a lasagna noodle and spoon a heaping spoonful of the ricotta filling mixture onto it. Spread evenly onto noodle and then roll fairly tightly into a tube. Place the noodle into the pan and repeat until all noodles are in the pan. Once you have made 1 layer of rolls, pour sauce on top so the next layer of noodles doesn’t stick. Top all rolls, once done, with more pasta sauce and shredded cheese, if desired.

Bake for 20 minutes or if cheese added, until cheese is golden and bubbling. Serve 2-4 rolls at a time with extra sauce, top with vegan parmesan and enjoy!
