Mushroom & Chestnut Rotolo Recipe - Delicious Vegetarian Dish

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 cups mushrooms, finely chopped (Any variety can be used)
  • 1 cup cooked chestnuts, chopped (Canned or vacuum-packed are great options)
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated (Plus extra for serving)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (Or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (For sautéing)
  • 8 sheets lasagna noodles (Cooked according to package instructions)
  • 2 cups marinara sauce (Store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (Adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (Adjust to taste)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

    Use a mix of mushrooms for more depth of flavor.
  2. Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine the sautéed mushrooms, cooked chestnuts, ricotta cheese, parmesan, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

    Taste the filling and adjust seasoning as needed.
  3. Assemble the Rotolo

    Lay out the lasagna noodles on a flat surface. Spread an even layer of the filling on each noodle, then roll them up tightly.

    Ensure the filling is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
  4. Prepare for Baking

    Place the rolled noodles seam-side down in a baking dish. Pour the marinara sauce over the rolls, ensuring they are well coated.

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) before this step.
  5. Bake the Dish

    Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until bubbly.

    Let it cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
