Lasagna Rolls For Dinner

Ingredients

Ricotta cheese (15 oz) made from whole milk
10 ounces of frozen spinach chopped, squeezed out and thawed
1 cup shredded mozzarella (about 4 ounces)
Parmesan cheese, grated: 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons
1 large egg, beaten to blend
Salt water with 3/4 teaspoon plus additional salt
Black pepper, freshly ground: 1/2 teaspoon
Olive oil, 1 to 2 tablespoons
Fresh uncooked lasagna noodles
3-4 cups marinara sauce

Directions

Pre-heat the oven to 425°F. Oil a glass baking dish measuring 13 by 9 by 2 inches. Spread 1 cup of marinara on top.

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the ricotta with the spinach, 14 cup Parmesan cheese, mozzarella, salt and pepper, and then blend.

To prevent the noodles from sticking, arrange them in one layer on a towel.

Spread the filling evenly between the 12 noodles. Spread the filling evenly down the middle of each strip.

Roll each noodle starting at one end. Over the sauce in your baking dish, lay the lasagna roll seam side down. Over the lasagna rolls, pour 2 cups of sauce marinara.

Cover tightly with foil. Cover tightly with foil. Remove the cover and sprinkle remaining Parmesan. Continue baking for an additional 15 minutes. Let the dish stand for 10 mins before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Mediterranean diet suitable to people with diabetes?

The Mediterranean Diet is a good choice for those with diabetes. This diet focuses on whole foods, reduces refined sugars, carbs, and emphasizes healthy fats rather than butter or lard. This reduces the chance of developing diabetes in people who are not already living with it, and helps to control blood sugar levels for those with diabetes. Light exercise can also help to stabilize blood sugar levels. Healthy food swaps such as replacing white bread with whole-grain bread or adding nuts to salads instead of crackers can contribute to a balanced meal plan suitable for managing symptoms of many different health conditions.

Is it safe to drink milk on the Mediterranean Diet?

Yes, milk is allowed on the Mediterranean diet. Dairy products such as low-fat yogurt and cheese are an important part of this diet, providing calcium and other key nutrients. It is also nutritious, and milk should be consumed in moderation. You can also make your own smoothies or oatmeal with it. For sustainable farming practices to be promoted when buying milk, it is best to use organic varieties. For a healthy start to your day, add milk to breakfast options such as avocado toast or smoothie bowls.
