Lasagna "Roll Ups"

I am not much of a lasagna person -- even though I love pasta, lasagna just doesn't do it for me. But I loved these roll-ups! They combined those wonderful flavors of cheese and tomato, with an interesting twist. And, it makes for a great weeknight meal -- not too much work, and easy to clean up! I can't wait to try it again with different variations (eggplant, spicy sausage, etc.)

8 lasagna noodles

1 T olive oil

1 clove garlic

12 ounces spinach

1 egg

1/2 cup ricotta cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup burrata cheese

1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
2 C tomato sauce

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Heat a large pot of water to boiling over high heat.  When it reaches a boil, salt liberally and drop noodles.  Stir occasionally and cook to just al dente, approximately 10 minutes.  You want to leave them slightly more firm since you'll be baking the pasta.  Drain noodles and set aside.

Meanwhile in a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.  Add garlic and saute for 2-3 minutes.  Add spinach and sautee until wilted.  

In a small bowl, lightly beat egg.  Add ricotta, Parmesan and red pepper flakes. Spray pan lightly with cooking spray.  To assemble, on a drained noodle, add a spoonful of ricotta mixture.  Top with a spoonful of spinach and roll up.  Place seam side down in pan.  Continue until you've used all the noodles.  Top each with with burrata and tomato sauce.  Bake approximately 20 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
