Spinach Lasagna Roll Ups

Husband and I are trying to be healthier and as part of that Husband wants to try to eat less meat. So I decided to give this recipe a go. I did combine it with another one when it came time to assemble the roll ups and bake them, and I'll post the link when I come to that point.

First I cooked the lasagna noodles and laid them flat on some foil. I did have more noodles than are pictured, but due to a lack of counter space, I left the rest of them in the colander.

Making the filling was easy. First I drained my thawed spinach:

Then I added the cheeses, egg, and salt and pepper.

It all got mixed together:

Now here is where I deviated from the original recipe's instructions. Since there's just the two of us I followed the Pioneer Woman's directions for freezing lasagna roll ups in foil loaf pans. I put some marinara in the bottom of the pan:

Then put four roll ups in each pan with more sauce on top.

I added more cheese to the tops because...cheese. I love cheese.

One of the pans went in the oven for us to eat tonight and the other two got covered with foil and stuck in the freezer for a later date.

I followed the baking instructions on PW's website and when it came out of the oven they looked like this:

PW recommends two roll ups as a serving for your normal adult. And these roll ups did end up fuller than I expected so I think that's the perfect serving size. They were a little difficult to eat, but pretty tasty. I'm excited to see how the frozen ones hold up. Husband and I agree on 3 stars for this one.
