Cooking Steps
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 ¼-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 ½ cup water (¾ 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 ½ 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 ½-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.

Reviews from our home cooks
This meal was hard to make but worth it! Especially the crostini! We even used our own creativity to make it more of a bruschetta with balsamic and cheese. That's what I love about hello fresh. You can follow the recipe to a T, but you could also add your own preferences along the way. The lasagna roll up bursted with flavor and I appreciated how it was a meatless option to my week.
I don't think the nutritional value is accurate or the portion size. I received 5 sheets of noodle/pasta, each sheet 170 calories. The bread is 190 calories each. the cream cheese is about 70 calories and the ricotta about 100-160 calories. Also the instructions state that use all for 8 servings and asked for a larger serving dish. My concern is I may have consumed more calories that indicated on the nutrition information, including other things such as carbs and what not. Otherwise, very delicious.
A bit more prep but worth the effort. Plenty of ricotta and spinach filling. The bruschetta was fresh and delicious!
So incredibly delicious! I love this lasagne! The filling of ricotta and spinach is wonderful.
Lasagna was definitely delicious. Did take a bit of time but, definitely worth the wait.
To a minutes to separate the pasta layers there wasn't enough flour and they were sticking. If someone was impatient they would've ruined the pasta. The sauce added a pinch of heavy cream to marina sauce. And also added mushrooms to the ricotta filling. The baguette with tomato was just way too much tomato for the overall dish.
Good flavor but the recipe was a bit awkward to make, the filling to noodle ratio was a bit too much sauce/not enough noodle compared to a regular lasagna that is more balanced
This recipe is delicious. While it was a little time-consuming to put together, the outcome was worth it. It looked exactly like the picture. It is cheesy, tomatoey deliciousness.
While it does take a good bit of time to make; it's absolutely delicious and I will definitely order it again.
Love this one! It is FUN to make, and freezes well. Delicious. Use only HALF of the cheese concentrate - it's too strong of a taste.
