Spinach Artichoke Lasagna Roll Ups
Updated October 06, 2020
Instead of the traditional lasagna with layers, we rolled up our lasagna for a fun, easy, and delicious dinner. The spinach artichoke filling with cheese and marinara sauce is a family favorite!

Pin ItI love traditional lasagna with layers and layers of cheese, sauce, and vegetables. But my new favorite way to enjoy lasagna is in roll up form. You know, like fruit roll ups, but way better because it’s lasagna! Spinach Artichoke Lasagna Roll Ups are fun to make and fun to eat!
I love making a big pan of lasagna roll ups so we can eat it all week-the leftovers are great. I have also put lasagna roll ups in the freezer and they freeze beautifully! Big time bonus! And I have made Spinach Artichoke Lasagna Roll Ups for dinner parties. I can prepare the meal in advance, which is perfect for stress-free entertaining. It’s always nice to get compliments on what you spent hours slaving over…oh wait, you don’t have to slave over this recipe. We will keep that our little secret:)
To make the Spinach Artichoke Lasagna Roll Ups, boil the lasagna noodles and make the spinach artichoke ricotta filling. Spread the filling evenly over the lasagna noodles and top with mozzarella cheese and marinara sauce. We always use my Easy Marinara Sauce. It’s the best and I promise it’s super easy!
Next, it’s time to roll! This is the fun part! If you have kids, get them to help with this step. They will love it! Caleb is still too young to help, so I had Josh help instead:)
Spoon some marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9×13 pan and place the fat lasagna rolls in the pan. It is ok if they touch a little. Top the rolls with sauce and more cheese!
Put the pan in the oven and plop down on the couch to watch your favorite TV show or curl up with a book while it bakes. Although you might not be able to concentrate on a show or book because your house is going to smell like lasagna heaven and your tummy is going to be growling at you:)
Pull the pan out of the oven and try to let it cool before diving in! The waiting is the hardest part!
So if you were thinking about what to make for dinner tonight, I hope you are no longer thinking. I hope you are running to the kitchen to make Spinach Artichoke Lasagna Roll Ups for dinner. Pasta rolled up with cheese, spinach, artichokes, and sauce…what’s not to love? I could eat Spinach Artichoke Lasagna Roll Ups every night for dinner, but that’s how I roll:)
Spinach Artichoke Lasagna Roll Ups
Ingredients
- 12 lasagna noodles
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 10- ounces frozen spinach, thawed, drained, and squeeze to remove water
- 1 cup chopped canned or jarred artichoke hearts
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- Pinch of nutmeg
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 cups Easy Marinara Sauce or your favorite sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the salt and cook the lasagna noodles to al dente, according to package directions. Drain and carefully lay the lasagna noodles out flat on a large piece of parchment paper. Let sit to cool.
- In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, garlic, spinach, artichoke hearts, parmesan cheese, basil, crushed red pepper, and nutmeg. Stir until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray. Line the bottom with marinara sauce, about ½ cup. Set aside.
- Take about ¼ cup of the ricotta spinach mixture and spread it evenly onto each lasagna noodle. Top each noodle with 2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce. Carefully roll the noodles up and place them in the prepared pan. Top the lasagna rolls with the remaining marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese. Spray a large sheet of foil with cooking spray and cover the pan.
- Place the pan in the oven and bake for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted on top. Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Serve warm.

YUM! Spinach and artichoke rock together. I’m actually having a dinner party on Friday and am making traditional italian and mexican lasagnas. Gotta love a make ahead recipe!!
Yummy! I have always wanted to make lasagna roll ups! You make it look easy!!!
Great process photos! Would love to see more posts like this.
Thanks! Sometimes it’s hard to take process photos with our little pea running around, but I will try to do more:)
These are absolutely lovely! What a wonderful recipe…thanks for sharing!
I love your vegetarian recipes Maria, I can’t wait to try this one!
Thanks! I am glad you enjoy our veggie recipes!
Love the idea of adding the spinach and artichoke flare to lasagna! This looks just to die for. Can’t wait to try!
Yum, love spinach and artichoke! These lasagna roll ups look so pretty and definitely adding this on my must make list! Thanks Maria!
Great idea, Maria. I love this meal!
Love this meal! So perfect, so pretty and I bet so delicious!
Oooooh, lady, these look SO good! Pinning and making ASAP!
I made a similar version once and it was such a big hit plus it was so much fun to make. I don’t know why I don’t do rolls more often!
Love the post! Thank you for including more photos! Seeing meals in action is so helpful!
What are your freezing instructions?
I added a note to the recipe! I hope this helps!
hy i am food lover send me some easy recipes
We are HUGE lasagna roll up fans here… totally loving the spinach artichoke combo! Genius!
This looks delicious! I love the addition of the artichokes.
If you make it ahead of time, do you make it completely and then cover it and put it in the refrigerator until your ready to bake it? And I, too, would love the freezing instructions. I’m horrible at knowing how to freeze stuff.
I added a note to the recipe! 🙂
Honey. Child. Please.
oh I could so get into this!
Such a fabulous dinner idea! Love it!
I LOVE freezer meals…this is perfect!!
oh jeez- just so, so good….
Spinach and artichoke is my favorite filling for lasagna roll-ups! Love that you can freeze these!
I love rollups even though I hardly ever make them (usually it’s just traditional lasagna). But I have to tell you, everytime I make lasagna I always make one extra noodle, save a little bit of each ingredient, make one for myself once the lasagna is made and then just sit at the island and snack on it – not even baked. It’s the best thing!
Lasagna roll ups are so fun to make and delicious too! These look good and I love that they have artichoke in them.
these rollups are so fun and make dinner easy peasy! love that it’s vegetarian too 🙂 i love my veggies!!
Oh, my! Those are beautiful!
I’ve made lasagna roll ups before and yours look super yummy. I love that they look so fancy but they aren’t that hard to make. I love your vegetarian recipes!
These look super delicious. I like making meatless meals a few times a week, and I know we would all love these!
These look too delicious!!! Definitely will be trying these soon!
Sure is lookin like the best!!
Love these, so much fun to eat!
Lasagna roll-ups re so much more fun the the traditional way! Love the pictures, Maria!
What a genius idea! I cant wait to make these!!
Such a scrumptious meal for weeknights or guests! These look delicious!
I made lasagna rollups for the first time this summer and they were so cute and tasty
These look so amazing Maria 🙂 I love the roll-up concept.
Gorgeous! Not a word I would usually use to describe lasagna but it is that- gorgeous. Love that it’s a time saver too Maria.
Definitely going on my list for this weekend, although portobellas and zucchini are on sale at my local market, so I might switch up the fillings a little, and make some just plain for my two picky eaters. Yum!!
Just about died and went to heaven Maria. 🙂 These are right up my alley! I love lasagna roll ups. And spinach lasagna! Making these ASAP my friend.
Yummy… Making this ASAP
Great idea with the addition of artichokes and spinach, so springy! This looks like a much more manageable form of lasagna.
I actually started making lasagna roll-ups last year and I’m never going back! The spinach artichoke combo is perfect for lasagna! Yum!
I make spinach lasagna rolls all the time. I’ll have to add the artichoke in next time. Sounds yummy.
These look fabulous. You can never go wrong with the combination of spinach and artichoke in my book!
How fun and delicious! Putting this on my list of must-tries! And soon!
Oh these look soooo delicious! I’m definitely making these with my students!
I just made these this weekend! Except I hadn’t thought of artichoke before. I’ll have to do that, because I love artichokes. However, I did put in a single shredded carrot and fresh spinach instead of frozen.
Mmmm. I’d love to be rolled right up in the middle of one of those!
Oh, this is genius…and they look SO, SO good! I love that you can make ahead! My mom always did that with her lasagna….said it was better that way. Cannot wait to make this!
These roll ups look delicious! Takes up a lot less time than building a lasagna. Will be giving this a try. Thank you for the recipe.
It’s my favorite dip in lasagna! This looks just scrumptious!
I haven’t tried making lasagna roll ups before. This one’s gonna be my first. It does look fun and delicious.
I love lasagna and making it healthier is always a challenge. I never thought of adding artichoke before, but now I guess I have to make it! 🙂
This looks so delicious! I love lasagna, roll-ups, rollatinis, you name it. I was thinking of making stuffed shells but this looks simpler, neater, and even tastier with the addition of artichokes.
Absolutely stunning! Love this idea and can’t wait to try these, Maria!
this sounds so good. I’ll have to remember it when I have a crowd to feed!
Thank you for the great idea, these look absolutely delicious!
I’ve always wanted to make lasagna roll-ups and this was just the push I needed! They look awesome!
Hey Maria, I’ve never seen lasagna roll ups until this recipe…they look so good. What are your thoughts on using fresh spinach? I have a whole bin sitting in my fridge. Thanks!
what gorgeous pictures…I love lasagna, and my fussy one does also – roll-ups make it so much easier to do
I am loving the spinach and artichoke heart combo in these lasagna rollups!
This looks amazing! I’ve been meaning to make lasagna roll-ups for years, but have not gotten around to it yet 🙂 I love the spinach artichoke twist. Thanks for the great idea!
Just discovered your site and love that you have so many delish vegetarian-friendly recipes.
I love lasagna roll ups! They look so pretty. Wish this was dinner tonight 🙂
SO LOVE THIS IDEA! Twisted Lasagna mmm
YES – I’d like these, please 🙂
Perfect recipe! Glad I found it today. Unexpected guests in town and coming over for dinner tonight… So happy I can prepare this dish in advance. Thank you.
Could you please mention the calorie content as well ? Thank you
This recipe was awesome! My husband and I absolutely loved it. Thanks for another great recipe, Maria!
This looks yummy! & Maybe with some mushrooms thrown in there too 😀
Just made these – soooooooo good!!!
I’m dying for seconds!
Thanks for sharing this recipe – made it for dinner last night and it was a hit!
I am planning on making this for dinner TONIGHT! YUM – Love getting your updates in my inbox everyday =)
Thanks!
Jett
Would it work well to add other veggies to these roll-ups? i.e. mushrooms, zucchini, onion?
Yes!
I absolutely cannot wait to make this! Sounds amazing!
I would like to make this and take to a pot luck dinner. Do you think it would work to cut the lasagna noodles in half in order to make more servings? Recipe rocks!!!
Sure, you can make mini rolls. Just use less filling and sauce too!
these look absolutely delicious! My husband claims to dislike artichoke, but I think I am going to have to try these anyway and convert him. Thanks!
Congrats! This recipe has been nominated to win my Inspired Recipe of the Year Award and the prize is quite a treat! The shortlist will be announced on 12/30/2013.
I made these for Christmas dinner and they were wonderful! They make a great presentation and everyone loved them. Oh, and they are also fun to make! I left out the artichokes and used fresh basil leaves instead of dried, but I otherwise followed the recipe. Thanks so much for sharing!
This is perfect. This will be my first vegetarian meal for the year (trying to reduce my meat intake ^_^.). I think the family would love this.
Can I make recipe without the egg?
This looks delicious! I maybe overlooking something, but it recipe calls for 12 lasagna noodles, but in the photo of the dish, there are only 8 rolls? Do you know if 12 will fit in 9×13 pan? Thanks!
I always do a few extra in case some break or tear. I always use a 9×13 pan. You can squish them in if you want!
Thanks so much for your quick reply!! I’m planning on making them for tonight’s dinner and am not an experienced cook so I really appreciate your extra feedback!
Just rolled these up and put them in the fridge to bake for tomorrow:) It was hard for me to get 12 of these in though.. I had to fill up the space in the middle too. But this thing tasted great raw too, haha, so it doesn’t matter if the baking doesn’t get all the way through- I hope.
this is REALLY delicious!
HI..
Thanks fir the recipe. Have you ever had extras that you wanted to freeze (before cooking) ? If yes what did you freeze them in to prevent freezer burn?
Thanks again..
Jules
Freeze in a freezer container.
Those look so good! I am excited to try them!
I did not make this recipe but my daughter did. OUTSTANDING!!!!! Thus I am here to get the recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Can you use fresh spinach instead of frozen ?
Sure
I am making this tonight but am using Alfredo sauce instead of marinara sauce.
Delicious!
These look delish! I’m going to make these and freeze in single serving portions for my son in university. Do you have directions for reheating in a microwave?
I made it slightly different but it was amazing! Thank you thank you thank you.
I love love this recipe! I tell everyone about you & your lovely family!!!
These are delicious! They were easy to make and the quick marinara sauce is a winner!! So glad I made them.
what kind pasta for lasagna
We make this all the time. A family favorite ❤️
I made them yesterday for dinner. I followed the recipe exactly and used my own sauce. I thought it might take less time to put together than the regular lasagna but it really took about the same time. However, serving the lasagna was so much neater and easier. I had one roll up and my husband had several. The flavors were excellent and I will definitely make again. Can’t wait until we can have people over so I can share with friends and family!
I’ve stored this recipe as one of my favorites. Sometimes I make them in advance a freeze them. My husband don’t eat meat so I’ll fix this and have fish for him and chicken for the rest of the family.
Been using this recipe for years and came back today to check the calories (love it even more now). I love the rollup because it is basically proportioned! So versatile too, can add meat and other veggies into individual rollups so that everyone enjoys it. I usually have too much for one pan and will make a few extra to full my 8×8 pan as well. Thanks for a family fav 3 years running!
Making this Sunday! Mmmmmm with a fresh homemade loaf of bread and a salad!
