Dean cooks meatless, pesto lasagna roll-ups

ricotta cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: tofu

Cottage cheese is lower in fat, while tofu provides a dairy-free option.

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: provolone

Part-skim mozzarella reduces calories, while provolone offers a similar flavor.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free, while pecorino is often less expensive.

lasagna noodles

🥗Healthier: zucchini strips

💰Cheaper: noodles made from whole wheat

Zucchini strips reduce carbs, while whole wheat noodles are budget-friendly.

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Prepare lasagna sheets by precooking and cutting them in half.

Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.

Take a lasagna sheet and place a tablespoon of the filling (ricotta cheese, pesto, and mozzarella) on it.

Roll the lasagna sheet tightly around the filling.

Place the rolled lasagna sheets seam-side down in the baking dish.

Once the tray is filled with the rolled lasagna, top with more marinara sauce.

Sprinkle additional mozzarella and parmesan cheese on top.

Bake in the oven at 375°F for 25 minutes.

Remove from the oven and check that the cheese is melted and bubbly.
