with Zesty Tomato Crostini
For this shortcut spin on lasagna, you’ll roll up a luscious spinach ricotta filling in fresh lasagna noodles, then top with tangy marinara sauce, sprinkle with quick-melting shredded mozzarella, and bake until browned and bubbly. Serve with lemony tomato and chive crostini for crunchy contrast and major “special occasion” vibes.

• Adjust racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Roughly chop spinach. Zest and quarter lemon. Thinly slice each baguette into 8-10 pieces. Dice tomatoes into 1⁄4-inch pieces. Mince chives.
• Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium heat. Add spinach to hot pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until wilted, 2-3 minutes (for 8 servings, you may need to work in batches). • Add garlic powder and Italian Seasoning; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. • Reduce heat to medium low. Stir in Vidalia onion paste, cheese roux concentrate, and 1⁄2 cup water (3⁄4 cup for 8). Cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.
• Add cream cheese to pan and stir until melted. Remove from heat. • Stir in ricotta and juice from two lemon wedges (four wedges for 8 servings). Taste and season with salt and pepper. Let sit until cooled slightly, about 5 minutes.
• While filling cools, halve lasagna noodles widthwise (you’ll make 10 smaller noodles; 20 smaller noodles for 8 servings). • Spread 1⁄2 cup marinara (1 cup for 8) in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish (for 8, divide sauce and roll-ups between two baking dishes). • Place one noodle on a work surface with a short side facing you; spread with 2 heaping TBSP filling, leaving a 1⁄2-inch border. Starting with a short side, gently roll up (don’t roll too tightly; filling might come out the sides!). • Place roll-up, seam side down, on top of marinara in baking dish. Repeat assembly with remaining noodles and filling.
• Pour remaining marinara evenly over roll-ups, spreading to cover. Sprinkle with mozzarella. • Tightly cover baking dish with foil; bake on top rack for 20 minutes (for 8 servings, bake on top and middle racks). • Carefully remove foil. Return to top rack and bake until cheese begins to brown and noodles are tender, 5-8 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, place baguette slices on a baking sheet. Top with a large drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake on middle rack until lightly browned and toasted, 5-8 minutes (for 8 servings, you may need to toast the crostini after the roll-ups are done baking. Don’t worry, the roll-ups will stay hot!). • In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, chives, lemon zest, and juice from remaining lemon wedges. Season with salt and pepper.
• Top crostini with tomato mixture. • Serve lasagna roll-ups family style or divide between plates. Serve with tomato crostini on the side.
