Shrimp and Spinach Stuffed Pasta Rolls with Roasted Red Pepper Cream

Tender lasagna rolls stuffed with creamy shrimp and spinach, baked under a luscious roasted red pepper cream sauce. Elegant enough for dinner parties or cozy nights in.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 egg
  • 8 lasagna noodles, cooked al dente
  • 1 ½ cups ricotta cheese
  • ¾ cup grated parmesan
  • 1 jar roasted red peppers, drained
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley or basil, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Sauté garlic in olive oil until fragrant. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Chop shrimp and mix in; cook briefly. Set aside to cool.
  2. In a bowl, combine ricotta, Parmesan, chopped shrimp-spinach mixture, egg, and parsley. Stir until well blended. If too dry, add a splash of cream.
  3. In a blender, combine roasted red peppers, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning; thin with water if needed.
  4. Spread filling onto each lasagna noodle. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  5. Pour roasted red pepper cream sauce over rolls, coating each one. Cover with foil and bake at 375°F for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake 10 more minutes until bubbly.
  6. Garnish with extra Parmesan and fresh herbs before serving.

Notes

Use fresh spinach for best texture; wilted frozen works in a pinch but squeeze out excess water. For extra flavor, roast your own peppers instead of jarred. Let rolls rest 5 minutes after baking for easier serving.
