AIMin for Good Health & Fitness: Just another Meatless Monday, wish it was Sunday...

Happy Meatless Monday night! ... I dont really wish it was Sunday, I dont mind the weekdays ;) they keep me busy!
I'm glad today was a successful meatless monday, unlike last Monday! That was a major fail with a capital F. -- but I also felt horrid last Monday! Feeling much better these days;)

I had a genius idea (I must say) to make fake-out bruschetta (I am sure I slaughtered that word...) and meatless lasagna roll-ups! It was dee-lish.
Want the recipe? :) I thought you might!!

Ricotta & Pesto filled Lasagna Roll-Ups

Lasagna Roll-Up Ingredients:

Part Skim Ricotta (you could buy a small container, I couldnt find one.)
Prepared Pesto (or homemade)
Reduced Fat Parmesean shredded or grated(a few shakes worth)
Jar of favorite sauce (I used veggie)
Reduced Fat Mozz(I just used a pinch on each roll-up)
10 Whole Grain Lasagna noodles(boiled,strained,cooled,dried)
Garlic Powder & Italian Season to taste

Make Em'!

Boil lasagna noodles according to package directions

Bottom of pan

Meanwhile, mix ricotta (about 1-1/2 C.'ish --- I just eyed it up, I ended up having to mix a little more to fill the last 2 roll-ups) & pesto together (I used just a couple dabs of pesto) -- set aside. Line pan w/sauce,seasoning,and parm cheese in the bottom of the baking pan -- set aside.

Ricotta/Pesto Mix
Take a spoon full of ricotta mixture, spread across lasagna noodle, then roll it up.
Place the roll-ups seam down, repeat until all noodles/ricotta are used
Pour the rest of sauce on top of roll-ups, season to taste and add a little parm and mozz on top
Bake at 350 degrees for about 20minutes(check it every so often)
To make the fake-out bruschetta ~ Just take a few pieces of bread... I chose:

Lay flat in a baking dish, top w/ pesto, fresh tomato, mozz, parm, italian seasoning - throw in oven when there is about 7 min. left for lasagna. voila!! Italian nommy Meatless Monday! :)
