Lasagna Roses for Saint Therese



I adapted the recipe from here

10 wide lasagna noodles ( I used the no boil noodles, soaked for about 5 minutes in boiling water)
2 (10 ounce) packages chopped frozen broccoli, thawed and drained ( I used fresh spinach)
1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese ( I used a cheese blend)
4 green onions, chopped
2 teaspoons dried basil
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg ( I omitted)
1 (32 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add noodles and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain and rinse.
In a large bowl combine broccoli, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, green onions, basil and nutmeg.
Spread about 1/2 cup of the broccoli mixture along each noodle. Roll noodles to form spirals. Place in prepared dish. Spoon spaghetti sauce on and around spirals, and top with Parmesan cheese.
Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.
