Directions:Pasta rolls and marinara sauce must be made a least 1 day in advance to allow flavors to blend.
For sauce, combine oil, onion, and garlic in a large saucepan. Saute over medium heat until onion is tender. Add remaining ingredients; stir until well blended. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 25-30 minus. pour sauce into a 9 x 13 baking dish, set aside.
For pasta rolls, heat oil and 1/4 c butter in a large skillet over medium heat until butter melts. Add onion and garlic, saute until onion is tender. Add spinach and continue to cook 10-15 minutes or until all liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
In a large bowl, combine next 5 ingredients, stir until well blended. Stir in spinach mixture, set aside.
Fill a large saucepan or Dutch oven with water, bring to a boil. Add noodles and cook 8-10 minutes or until tender. Drain and rinse with cold water. Spread about 2 tablespoons spinach mixture evenly on each noodle. Use a sharp knife to cut each noodle in half from top to bottom and again from left to right. Beginning with 1 short edge, roll up each piece jelly-roll fashion. Standing rolls on one end, place in sauce. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight to allow flavors to blend.
To serve, preheat oven to 350. Cover with aluminum foil and bake 25 to 30 minutes or until heated through. Melt remaining 1/4 c butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Brush butter lightly over pasta rolls. Serve warm. |
