Caprese Lasagna Rolls

I just love anything Caprese. I'm not a huge cheese or tomato fan. But something about the whole thing together with some balsamic vinegar is so enticing to me!

Good news, too, it's fairly healthy! Now, this recipe has noodles in it, so it may not be as healthy as a Caprese salad on its own... but it's sure as heck yummy!

Caprese Lasagna Rolls

Shopping List

1. 8 Lasagna noodles

2. 3/4 cup of Ricotta Cheese

3. 3 1/2 cups of Mozzarella Cheese {shredded}

4. 1 egg white

5. 1/3 cup of Parmesan Cheese {shredded}

6. Black pepper

7. 4 Roma tomatoes, sliced thin

8. Fresh basil leaves, chopped

9. Marinara sauce {Homemade is always best!}

Recipe

1. Cook your lasagna noodles in boiling water with a pinch of salt until al dente.

2. Mix together the Ricotta cheese, 3 cups of the Mozzarella cheese, and the 1 large egg white. 

3. When well mixed, add in Parmesan cheese and black pepper, mix well. 

4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

5. Lay out all of your lasagna noodles on parchment paper.

6. Spread a thin layer of your cheese mixture on your lasagna noodle. Make sure to cover all of the noodle! 

7. Put 4 slices of tomatoes on each noodle. It helps to vary the size of the slices of the tomatoes so that it fits better when you roll them up.

8. Sprinkle on some basil on each of the noodles. 

9. In an 11x7 glass pan, put a small layer of marinara sauce in the bottom to coat the pan.

10. Roll the noodles tightly, all the way, and then place them in the pan, seam side down.

11. Pour your marinara sauce over all of the roll ups in the pan. Make sure you cover them fully or they will dry out.

12. Pour on the rest of your Mozzarella cheese and stick those babies in the oven for 30 minutes!

13. Enjoy!
