Ricotta Roll-Ups!!!

Apr 21, 2012 · 33 Comments

Ingredients:
For the Filling:
32 oz. of ricotta
1 tablespoon of sugar
1 tablespoon of capers plus 1 tablespoon of caper juice
Zest of 1 lemon
1 egg
¼ cup grated Romano cheese
Dash of red pepper flakes
Dash of salt
Dash of black pepper
1 lb. of lasagna noodles
Prepare the lasagna noodles as directed.  Drain, cool and set aside.
Combine all of the above in a food processor and process until smooth.
For the Sauce:
4 cloves of garlic
1 tablespoon of capers plus 1 tablespoon of caper juice
Sprigs of fresh oregano or 1 tsp. of dried oregano
½ bunch of Italian parsley
1 pint of cherry tomatoes
1 sweet roasted red pepper plus tablespoon of pepper juice
Zest of ½ lemon
½ tsp. of salt
Dash of red pepper flakes
Olive oil – for drizzling
Grated Romano cheese
½ cup of chicken broth – for the pan
In a food processor combine the garlic cloves, capers plus caper juice, leaves of fresh oregano or dried oregano, Italian parsley, roasted red pepper plus pepper juice, cherry tomatoes and a drizzle of olive oil.
Heat a frying pan and add the sauce and simmer on low for about 15 – 20 minutes while rolling the lasagna.
To Roll the Lasagna:

 Preheat Oven 325 degrees:
In a baking pan lay the lasagna noodle flat.  Spoon the filling the length of the noodle and then roll.
Top the noodles with the sauce and fresh grated Romano cheese and a drizzle of olive oil.
Fill the bottom of the pan with the ½ cup of chicken broth.
Bake 20-25 minutes.
This is a light and tasty meal served with a side salad.
With Love,
Catherine

    Wow this sounds amazing. Guess who just bought some Romano cheese? I saw it and said I haven't bought any Romano in a while, I'll have to find a recipe to use it in. Thanks for providing the recipe.

    Such a refreshing dish that although it reminds me of a heavy lasagna. Yet it is so simple and light that as you mentioned, it would make a guilt-free and hearty meal paired with a salad.

    This looks fantastic! I had never made roll ups until recently but found a recipe for butternut squash roll ups - it was excellent and it really took the chore out of making a lasagna style dish.
