Ingredients
  

12 lasagna noodles

1 block (8 oz) feta cheese, crumbled

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 cups fresh spinach, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup marinara sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Cook the Lasagna Noodles: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until they are al dente. Once done, drain the noodles and spread them flat on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool and prevent sticking.

      Prepare the Filling: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped spinach, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Gently mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

        Fill the Noodles: Take one lasagna noodle and spoon a tablespoon of the filling mixture along its length. Roll the noodle from one end to the other to form a tight roll. Place each roll seam-side down in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish or a similar-sized dish.

          Add Marinara Sauce: Once all the rolls are placed in the dish, pour the marinara sauce evenly over the top. Ensure that all the rolls are adequately covered with sauce for maximum flavor and moisture.

            Top with Mozzarella: Generously sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the marinara sauce, making sure to cover all areas for that cheesy goodness.

              Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to prevent the cheese from over-browning. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. After this time, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly with a golden-brown color on top.

                Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, let the pasta rolls cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for an aromatic touch and vibrant visual appeal. Serve your crispy baked feta pasta rolls hot and enjoy every delicious bite!
