Wheat Lasagna Roll-Ups

Here is recipe I made up a few years ago - its really good - it keeps well in the fridge for a few days and it freezes well to - full of protein and the wheat pasta is much better for you and your blood sugar levels. I think 2 of the roll ups would count as one serving. With a nice salad it's very filling!


To save time I usually buy the sauce - Newman's Own is really good and tastes homemade - but if you have the time you can make your red sauce from scratch!



Ingredients:

1 jar/can spaghetti sauce (I use Newman's Own or Ragu or what's on sale)

12 wheat lasagna noodles, cooked

1 can black beans, rinsed

1 can diced green chili's

1 can chunk chicken breast (or you can buy a rotisserie chicken and use that - both are good)

1 8 oz container skim ricotta cheese or cottage cheese

1 cup mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup fresh Parmesan cheese

1 cup diced tomatoes

ground black pepper to taste

Directions:

Boil Lasagna according to directions, set aside. In Bowl, mix all other ingredients together
(except Parmesan cheese & spaghetti sauce). Drain lasagna noodles and lay them out on a cutting board - put the mixture in the noodles and roll them up- place noodles in a 9 x 12 pan
sprayed with non stick spray. Pour jar of sauce over all roll ups and top with Parmesan cheese.
Bake at 350' for about 30-40 minutes.

Enjoy!
