Instructions

Prepare the Pasta Rolls

Cook the lasagna sheets in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and lay them flat on parchment paper to prevent sticking.

In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add shrimp, season with salt, pepper, and oregano, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until pink. Remove and chop shrimp into small pieces.

In the same pan, add minced garlic and spinach. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat.

In a bowl, mix ricotta, feta, mozzarella, egg, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the chopped shrimp and spinach mixture.

Assemble the Rolls

Spread a thin layer of filling onto each lasagna sheet and roll them up tightly. Place them in a greased baking dish.

Prepare the Sauce

In a saucepan, melt butter and sauté garlic for 1 minute. Add heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Simmer until thickened.

Pour the sauce over the pasta rolls, ensuring they’re evenly coated.

Bake & Serve

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake uncovered for 20 minutes until golden brown.

Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan before serving.

Tips & Variations

Want a richer Mediterranean touch? Add sundried tomatoes or artichokes to the filling.

Prefer a lighter sauce? Use Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream.

Extra crunch? Sprinkle toasted pine nuts or breadcrumbs before baking.
