Lasagne, but not as you know it! When you fancy a change from the classic Italian-style dinner, our Rolled-up Lasagne brings a bit of fun (and plenty of delicious flavour) to the table.
We’ve made sure to start our recipe with a base of slimming-friendly bolognese, using reduced-fat beef mince to keep the calories down. Rather than layering this up with sheets of pasta, we’ve softened lasagne sheets in boiling water, then rolled them up to sit on top of the meat.
Once each pasta swirl is filled with our cream cheese and spinach mixture, then topped with reduced-fat Cheddar, the whole dish is ready to be baked in the oven until it’s gorgeous and golden.
All in all this takes less than an hour to prepare from scratch, but there’s even more good news! This recipe freezes like a dream – ideal if you want to batch cook it and save a few portions in the freezer for a rainy, lazy day.

Our Rolled-up Lasagne can be enjoyed on gluten-free diets, as long as you substitute the stock pot and lasagne sheets for suitable gluten-free alternatives.
If you’re cooking for people with allergies, be extra careful when checking ingredients and preparing food!

Step 1
Add the lasagne sheets to an ovenproof dish or baking tray and pour over boiling water until it just covers the sheets. Leave the lasagne sheets to soak while you prepare the rest of the recipe.
Step 2
Spray a frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and add the onion, celery, carrot and garlic. Fry for 4 minutes until starting to soften.
Step 3
Add the beef mince to the pan and stir until browned on all sides, this should take about 4 minutes.
Step 4
When the beef mince is browned, add the chopped tomatoes, passata, Henderson’s relish, tomato puree, balsamic vinegar, mixed herbs and stock pot. Bring to the boil then lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Step 5
Add the spinach to a bowl, pour over boiling water and allow to wilt for a few minutes. Drain well using a sieve or colander, squeezing as much of the water out as possible.
Step 6
Add the spinach to a bowl with the cream cheese, garlic granules, onion powder and mix until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 7
Preheat the oven to 190°C. Remove the lasagne sheets from the water and slice each sheet in half. Pour the beef mixture into the bottom of the dish. Roll the lasagne into swirls and push them into the beef mixture.
Step 8
Using a teaspoon, spoon a little of the cheese and spinach mixture into the centre of each lasagne swirl. Sprinkle over the grated cheese and pop into the oven for 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden. Serve with your choice of accompaniment.

Hi, Can I ask if this is fresh lasagne sheets or dried? Also could you use dried cannelloni tubes instead?
Thanks
LisaWednesday 6th March 2024
Hi Catherine
We used dry lasagne sheets and softened them in boiling water so they can be rolled up. You could use fresh lasagne if you prefer.
AmySaturday 21st October 2023
Hi
Just a quick question I noticed in the ingredients only 8 lasagne sheets are used, yet the photo shows 16 rolled lasagne sheets. Did you double the ingredients or just use extra lasagna sheets?
SharonMonday 23rd October 2023
Hi Amy, our Rolled-up Lasagne does only use 8 lasagne sheets. In step 7, it says to cut each lasagne sheet in half which will give you 16 pieces. Hope this helps.
MicheleTuesday 26th September 2023

Is this recipe, really for 1 person, 500g of mince seems rather a lot.
