Spinach Lasagna Roll-Up
Looking for a light spring pasta dish to serve for dinner? Wrap and roll fresh spinach in layers of whole-wheat pasta and creamy ricotta topped with your favorite marinara sauce. One Spinach Lasagna Roll-Up packs in 1 ½ cups of spinach. What makes spinach a nutritional superstar? A cup of this green leafy veggie offers an impressive amount of fiber, an array of heart-healthy B vitamins and bone-building minerals like magnesium. Spinach also contains beta-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin, which protect the eyes from cataracts and macular degeneration. Save time and dishes by cooking your spinach in the same pasta water used for boiling the lasagna noodles.
