Lasagna Rolls Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis
Show: Everyday Italian
Episode: Italian Fast Food





Sauce:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Pinch ground nutmeg
Lasagna:
1 (15-ounce) container whole milk ricotta cheese
1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, squeezed dry
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, chopped
1 large egg, beaten to blend
3/4 teaspoon salt, plus more for salting water
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
12 uncooked lasagna noodles
2 cups marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella (about 4 ounces)


To make the sauce: Melt the butter in a heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the flour and whisk for 3 minutes. Whisk in the milk. Increase the heat to medium-high. Whisk the sauce until it comes to a simmer and is thick and smooth, about 3 minutes. Whisk the salt, pepper, and nutmeg into the bechamel sauce.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Whisk the ricotta, spinach, 1 cup Parmesan, prosciutto, egg, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl to blend.

Add a tablespoon or 2 of oil to a large pot of boiling salted water. Boil the noodles until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain. Arrange the noodles in a single layer on a baking sheet to prevent them from sticking.

Butter a 13-by-9-by-2-inch glass baking dish. Pour the bechamel sauce over the bottom of the prepared dish. Lay out 4 lasagna noodles on a work surface, then spread about 3 tablespoons of ricotta mixture evenly over each noodle. Starting at 1 end, roll each noodle like a jelly roll. Lay the lasagna rolls seam side down, without touching, atop the bechamelsauce in the dish. Repeat with the remaining noodles and ricotta mixture. Spoon 1 cup of marinara sauce over the lasagna rolls. Sprinkle the mozzarella and remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan over the lasagna rolls. Cover tightly with foil. Bake until heated through and the sauce bubbles, about 20 minutes. Uncover and bake until the cheese on top becomes golden, about 15 minutes longer. Let stand for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the remaining marinara sauce in a heavy small saucepan over medium heat until hot, and serve alongside.

Tomorrow night is fish night. Defrosting the Tilapia and I am doing the usual, browning it in basting oil and then baking it till it flakes. If anyone can pass on their favorite sauces for fish (preferably Tilapia) it would be greatly appreciated. I don't have much ingredients, but I can work on that. Looking for something creamy, tangy, and goes well with rice or pasta. Thanks.

Hi ! I’m on my own and noticing milk and bread doesn’t go as far as I hoped. I am looking for yummy recipes that are filling, pretty healthy, something I can store in a fridge for left overs, easy to make, and the ingredients are cheap. I’d love tons of advice and if anyone has some good comfort food recipes i'd love those also. Thanks for your help !!

All i have found online is snacks for preschoolers! help! - I hate corned-beef so please don't suggest that! i want a COLD appetizer because my friends and I will be in a hotel and the room has no microwave. i would like something to help soak up alcohol- haha- but it is not a requirement.

all i can think of is spinach dip, or sugar cookies with green icing.

I have some talapia fish that was purchased on March 9th from Sam's club, it's now March 16th and I was thinking about eating it. I've scrubbed it, washed it in cold water, and put it in the over for about 30 minutes (12 minutes over the recommended time) at 400 degrees. It had a little fishy smell before I put it in, but most fish does to me anyway.

Think it's safe to eat? It's all golden brown and flakey on my kitched counter and it smells great. Just wary of E Coli.....

Thoughts?

I have a recipe for a whole-wheat baking mix that uses a Crisco type shortening but I am searching for a healthier recipe using vegetable oil. This recipe would be used much like Bisquick for making muffins, pancakes and quick breads.
