Eggplant Orzo Lasagna Rolls

February 12, 2021 Easy Meals, Food + Recipes, Plant Based, Uncategorized

If you’re a vegetarian, meat eater, or 100% plant based, I believe this recipe for my Eggplant Orzo Lasagna Rolls is one that everyone can enjoy. You get the lasagna feel, without the heaviness of lasagna noodles. While there still is pasta in this dish, it’s lighter and acts more as a filling.

Confession: This recipe for Eggplant Orzo Lasagna Rolls was a complete accident that ended up being one of the best accidents EVER! Yes, I was trying to create a different recipe (which I will totally share with you one day), and this dish ended up as the outcome. My family gobbled it right up, which is impressive because Eggplant isn’t always the most popular ingredient amongst my crew. So, that is my assurance that this recipe is a winner. Therefore, it was a must that I share it with you as another Italian dinner option. It can be a plant based dinner option too if you decide to go with plant based cheese.

What ingredients do you need to make Eggplant Orzo Lasagna Rolls?

  • Eggplants
  • Orzo Pasta

Ingredients

Orzo

3 large Eggplants

1 Onion

5oz Mushrooms 

1 Large bunch of Spinach, or 2c of frozen spinach (thawed)

25oz Marinara sauce

1tsp pepper

1.5tsp salt

2tsp Italian seasoning

1c Mozzarella Cheese (shredded)


Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Preparing your eggplant

Clean your eggplant and cut off each end of the plant.

Slice your eggplant lengthwise about 1/2 inch thick.

Lay your slices on a large baking sheet.

Pat dry each slice with a paper towel.

Brush a little oil then sprinkle each slice with salt and pepper.

Bake for 18 minutes, then let cool until you are ready to assemble your rolls.

Preparing your Orzo Filling

Make your orzo pasta according to the package instructions. Save 2 cups of your pasta water before draining.

In a large pot, begin to sauté your onions and mushrooms using your oil of choice.

Once onions begin to look translucent stir in seasonings and minced garlic.

Stir in your orzo pasta.

Toss in your spinach pasta water while giving everything a good stir. Cover your pot and turn heat down to low.

Now it’s time to assemble your eggplant rolls.

First, start by adding sauce to the bottom of your baking dish and spread out evenly.

Take one slice of eggplant, spread marinara sauce on the slice, then add a spoonful of your orzo mixture.

Roll the eggplant, then place it in the dish seam down.

Continue to do this until you have no more rolls or your dish is filled to capacity.

Top your rolls with more sauce and your mozzarella cheese.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese has completely melted.

Enjoy!

To get back into the swing of things, I’m kicking off the week with a Watermelon Salad with Berries and Citrus Marinated Beets. It’s Spring, the weather is warm, and watermelons are finally back in the grocery stores (so don’t put yourself in a box and think watermelon is only for Summer) Go grab you some and make this easy salad ASAP. 

As you can see it was super simple to make the marinade for the beets. Then you just toss them with the remaining ingredients. Either serve with a garnish of basil, or even add a dollop of creme fraiche to individual servings. Find this printable recipe at the link in my bio, and definitely save for your upcoming Mother’s Day spread. Have a great week everyone!
Update: I’m still in Spring Break mode. The Bigs Update: I’m still in Spring Break mode. The Bigs (Harper & Ivey) went to spend the rest of the week with their Grandparents. So, Harvey, Hollis, and I have been living life super easy this week. Luckily I had some or my Pulled Pork in the deep freezer (I’m trying not to cook this week either), so we used that for tacos last night and pizza on Monday. Grab this simple recipe at the link in my bio. I’ll be back soon to update you on the other things we’ve been up to. Until then, I hope you enjoy your day💖

Have a great week everyone, I know I am💖

Just in time for Easter, I am excited to show you Just in time for Easter, I am excited to show you step by step instructions on how you can easily cook your Rack of Lamb, either in the oven or on the grill. #ad The best part is that I show you how to cook either way using my two handle Paella Fry Pan by @Staub_usa. Yes it’s a paella pan, but I can honestly say that this cast iron fry pan is so much more. I find myself using it daily for most of my family meals because it’s huge and can fit enough food for my family of five, it provides even heat distribution, and the two handles are like a dream come true. If you make any of my recipes, then you know that a lot of times I start on the stove and end in the oven. So, the two handles give me more security when carrying the pan full of hot food to the oven. A lot of you have asked what pans I recommend, and I always say @Staub_usa because they truly provide a quality product that you can pass down from generation to generation. Learn more when checking out this recipe. 

Speaking of, you can find this simple recipe for Rack of Lamb and my Mint and Garlic Sauce at the link in my bio. I walk you through tips on how to purchase the right rack of lamb, to a simple marinade, and how to cook it from beginning to end in one skillet. If you have any questions, feel free to dm me, and don’t forget to share this recipe with someone who you think is awesome. #madeinstaub #zwilling1731
Easy Apricot Hot Cross Buns for Beginners! Yes, yo Easy Apricot Hot Cross Buns for Beginners! Yes, you read that correctly. To all of my baking challenged friends out there, I have tested an endless list of Hot Cross Bun recipes to come up with the perfect one that is approachable and easy to understand for those who always bake, and for those who stray away from it. (AD) I partnered with my friends at @BobsRedMill to show you how to use a quality ingredient, like their Organic Unbleached White- All Purpose Flour to make these sweet brioche-like buns. This flour includes malted barley to enhance the rise when using yeast, which comes in handy to make an extra fluffy bun. #bakedwithbobs

Who’s in charge of desserts this Easter? I’m a Who’s in charge of desserts this Easter? I’m almost at place where I’m willing to let Harper be in charge. She’s been in the kitchen since around 2 1/2-3 years old. I would just start with super simple recipes, like the Mini Flower Tarts that I posted yesterday. Then I slowly increased the skill level to the recipes she would help with, and it seemed like she became comfortable in the kitchen in no time!

My Very Berry Trifle is a great recipe to get your kiddos in the kitchen to build their confidence in their cooking or baking abilities. This is also a great dessert to enjoy this Passover and Easter. Have your kiddos assist in making it, or have them make it alone (with supervision of course).

Whoa, I almost forgot to share Hollister’s a.k.a Whoa, I almost forgot to share Hollister’s a.k.a. Baby Billie Dee’s 4 month photo. Hollis is now 26in and 16lbs. He LOVES hanging out in his new jumper, he now rolls over any chance he can get (goodbye leaving him on the couch), and he still has a lot to say. Harvey and I were reminiscing on Ivey and Harper turning 4 months, and we actually found their milestone photos too. It’s crazy how they are all so different, yet all the same. And thank you Kelly @eattherainbow_kids for sharing a little Colorado love in this cute onesie that you got for Hollister! 💙💙💙
