We at dorm room delights are always looking for creative ways to make our favorite dishes in new, kettle friendly ways. Lasagna is particularly challenging, because regular lasagna is assembled with raw noodles, cheese, and vegetables, then baked in an oven to cook the flavors together. So, how did we make a hot, gooey pasta dish with all of the elements of a lasagna? We rolled and steamed our own lasagna rolls!
To make these rolls, we cooked one lasagna noodle and then covered it with a cheese and spinach mixture. Then, we rolled up the noodle and wrapped it in aluminum foil. We steamed the roll to heat up the cheese and to finish cooking the noodle. When the roll was cooked, we doused it in marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella. This is a fantastic, balanced dish with great vegetable flavor and added garlic for spice. Another great aspect of this recipe for lasagna rolls is that they are made 1 at a time, so you can make a perfectly portioned snack. Or, simply repeat the process to cook 3 or 4 for rolls for a full dinner!
Have fun rolling up your lasagna!
