I don't really expect you to make these, but I just wanted to show them off.
No, they are not enchiladas.
I had 2 large leftover fresh lasagne sheets, not enough to make a "real" lasagne, so rollups it would have to be.
I also had that beautiful sausage ragu leftover, so this was an easy dinner to put together.
Have I told you that I HATE squeezing out the water from frozen spinach? Well I do.
I have found the best way is to squeeze out the moisture with your hand.
Mix some ricotta w/ drained cooked spinach, parmesan cheese and an egg, salt & pepper.
This is your filling.
Spread some of the filling in the center of cooked lasagne noodles and roll, baby.
I added some sausage ragu to the filling, but you can keep this vegetarian if you like.
Place your rollups in a baking dish with some tomato sauce on the bottom.
Ladle some sauce over the pasta and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese & fresh basil.
Cover with foil and bake 40 minutes at 350F.
Uncover and bake another 10 minutes until cheese is bubbling.
Eat & enjoy!

You've managed to turn lasagna into one of my alltime favorites - cannelloni. Too bad you didn't have more leftover lasagna sheets - I'd have zipped over.
I absolutely hate squeezing out spinach and also grated zucchini! But I would love this lasagna of yours.
Yum! We're making this next week :) Thanks for sharing!!
Great use of all the ingredients. Yum. Bet they were good.
I do lasagna like this from time to time too, it seems so much quicker than regular lasagna
This is a good idea when you're cooking for just 2 people. I made a pan of lasagna a couple months ago and we still have some in the freezer!
What a great idea - I love spinach lasagna.
I would totally makes this, are you kidding? I use my ricer to squeeze out spinach. It works great, if you have one. I wish I had seen this recipe when I made a quick spaghetti. I keep pre-cooked meat in the freezer for when I'm feeling lazy. This would have been far tastier, and super easy. Next time!
i think i saw that in this month's issue of "canadian living"! coincidence?
I love this method - I do it all the time thinking how original I am -- who knew it was called cannelloni?
Great idea to roll up the lasagna. I always save leftover sheets with that in mind and then forget to use. them. Also, I too absolutely hate squeezing water from frozen spinach. Always have.
I don't like to squeeze out spinach either. Sounds like nobody cares for it. I do love Debby's idea of using a ricer to squeeze out the spinach. The lasagna rolls look great.
Stacey, your spinach filling looks amazing! I think I see a caper? Yum!
Hehe, your nails look amazing in the spinach picture. Well done!
