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!

Midweek check-in: how’s everyone doing? I think Midweek check-in: how’s everyone doing? I think one thing that’s consistent for almost everyone, is that most of us are experiencing some pretty cold weather here in the US. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who has lost their gas and electricity recently. Please stay bundled up with lots of layers, if possible. We’ll be doing the same over here, and if I can gather up the energy, I’ll be getting cozy with a hot cup of cocoa or tea.

Happy Valentines Day from The Daniels Crew💖💙 Happy Valentines Day from The Daniels Crew💖💙❤️ We started celebrating early with funny and intense stories over Valentines cake for the kids, that I showed in my stories yesterday. A lot of you asked who made the cake, and it was from the talented @justnotthecakes. (FYI, you’re viewing the very first Daniels Party of 5 photo. You guys didn’t warn me that it’s nearly impossible to get all 3 kids in the photo at once. Let alone have them all looking into the camera. Finally, we got one good shot together🥰 but the rest had to be apart🤷🏾‍♀️ I’m hoping it gets better with age?😩)
Confession: I think I enjoy celebrating Valentines Confession: I think I enjoy celebrating Valentines this year more than I did Christmas. I don’t know, maybe it’s because the kids have really been into Valentines this year. Or, it could be the fact that I felt the need to make it super special  since it’s yet another holiday during a pandemic🤷🏾‍♀️ Either way, it was nice to decorate this year and have daily goodies for the kids and the hubs😉 Swipe through to see how I easily got our Valentines decor together. 

Do you guys enjoy seeing entertaining decor content from me? If so, I’ll start to make it more detailed so that you can do it at home too💖
