Instructions
- Boil lasagna sheets (or use pre-cooked cannelloni) until al dente. Drain and drizzle lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- In a bowl, combine spinach, ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, garlic, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy and well combined.
- In a saucepan, melt butter, whisk in flour, and cook for 1 minute. Gradually add warm milk, whisking constantly until smooth and thickened. Stir in parmesan, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Keep warm.
- Place a spoonful of spinach-ricotta filling on each pasta sheet, roll tightly, and arrange in a baking dish. Pour the sauce over the rolls.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet, season shrimp with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sear shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through.
- Top pasta rolls with cooked shrimp. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra parmesan if desired.
Notes
- Feel free to add more spices to the shrimp for extra flavor.
- Can substitute shrimp with chicken or keep it vegetarian by omitting the shrimp.
- Make sure to drain the spinach well to avoid excess moisture in the filling.
