Step 4: Make the Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce
In a blender or food processor, combine:
- Roasted red peppers
- Heavy cream
- Parmesan cheese
- Garlic
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
Step 5: Add the Sauce
Pour the roasted red pepper cream sauce evenly over the lasagna rolls.
Sprinkle a little extra mozzarella and Parmesan over the top if desired.
Step 6: Bake
Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil.
Bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for another 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
The shrimp should be fully cooked and opaque.
Step 7: Serve
Allow the lasagna rolls to rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, basil, or extra Parmesan cheese.
Serve with garlic bread, Caesar salad, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
Tips for Success
- Do not overcook the lasagna noodles before rolling.
- Pat the shrimp dry before mixing to avoid excess moisture.
- Fresh spinach works best, but frozen spinach may be used if thoroughly drained.
- Blend the sauce until perfectly smooth for the creamiest texture.
- Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes if you enjoy a little heat.
