Shrimp and Spinach Alfredo Rollups
Ingredients:
- 12 lasagna noodles
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
For Homemade Alfredo Sauce:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the lasagna noodles:
- Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
- Make the Alfredo sauce (if using homemade):
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic powder and cook for about 1 minute.
- Slowly add the heavy cream, bring it to a simmer, and stir in the Parmesan cheese.
- Continue to cook, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove from heat.
- Cook the shrimp:
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil and sauté the garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the spinach and cook until wilted (about 2-3 minutes). Set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare the filling:
- In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, and cooked spinach. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir in the cooked shrimp.
- Assemble the rollups:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Take each lasagna noodle and spoon the shrimp and spinach mixture along the length of the noodle. Carefully roll up the noodle and place it seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Repeat with the remaining noodles and filling, arranging the rollups snugly in the dish.
- Top with sauce and cheese:
- Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the top of the rollups, then sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Bake:
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Serve:
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot. Enjoy!
