  • 1lb brown rice Tinkyada lasagna noodles
  • 15oz fat free ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan
  • 1 egg
  • 10oz frozen spinach (thawed and drained very well)
  • 1 jar Newman's own sausage and peppers marinara sauce
  • black pepper
  1. Boil lasagna noodles 2-3 minutes shy of what the directions say. You don't want them to be too soggy or they fall apart.
  2. While noodles are boiling, combine ricotta, mozzarella, spinach, egg and pepper in a bowl. 
  3. Once noodles are done I placed them on some parchment paper and spread the mixture evenly on each noodle and then rolled them up.
  4. Place noodles on a glass baking dish that has been sprayed with olive oil spray and then top with marinara and Parmesan cheese.
  5. Bake 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Had steamed broccoli on the side.
