Bloomin' Lasagna


Bloomin' Lasagna
Tracy Belt found this recipe on the back of a ranch dressing bottle.

12 Lasagna noodles

4 Cups Leaf spinach, lightly packed
2 Cups Ricotta cheese
1 Cup Grated mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup Hidden Valley Light Original Ranch Dressing, divided

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1 jar (26 oz) Pasta sauce, divided

Preheat oven to 350 F. Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions. Drain and cool. Mix spinach, cheeses, 1/4 cup ranch and seasonings in large bowl. Set 1/2 cup of pasta sauce aside. Pour remaining sauce into greased shallow casserole dish at least 10 inches in diameter. To assemble flowers, spread 2 to 3 tablespoons of cheese mixture on each noodle and roll up. Place flowers, curly side up, in casserole dish. Mix remaining Ranch with pasta sauce; drizzle over each flower. Cover and bake for 30 minutes or until heated through. Makes 8 servings

I haven't personally tried this one yet, but isn't it beautiful? Looks absolutely yummy and easy to make. Great for when you want your lasagna to not only taste great but also be extra pretty. Nice job Tracy!
