Description

Lasagna Roll Ups are just as tasty as Classic Lasagna, but easier to serve and pre-portioned. This recipe makes a deliciously satisfying Ragu sauce from jarred or homemade marinara with a decadent 3-cheese sauce as filling.

Ingredients

Scale

12 lasagna noodles, cooked to package instructions
16 oz ground beef (85% lean)
32 oz marinara sauce
1/2 cup diced onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp dried oregano
15 oz ricotta cheese
1 large egg
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
3 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded, divided
1/4 cup parsley, chopped, plus more to garnish

Instructions

Cook the noodles: Preheat oven to 375°F. Cook noodles in a large pot of salted water according to package instructions for al dente, then drain and fill pot with cold water to stop the cooking process and keep noodles from sticking together.
Meat Sauce: In a deep pan or Dutch oven, over medium-high heat, cook ground beef until no longer pink, breaking up with a spatula. Add onion and cook until softened. Add garlic, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, and 1/2 tsp oregano and sauté another minute. Add marinara, bring to a simmer, and turn off the heat. Spread 1/2 cup meat sauce over the bottom of a casserole dish.
Cheese Sauce: In a large bowl, stir together: ricotta, 1 egg, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, and 1/4 cup parsley.
Roll: Arrange noodles over a large baking sheet in a single layer. Spread 1/4 cup of cheese mixture over the top of each noodle. Add a heaping Tbsp of meat sauce in a strip down the center of the noodle. Roll noodles up and arrange in the prepared casserole dish.
Top: Spread remaining meat sauce over the tops of roll-ups and sprinkle on the remaining 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella cheese. Cover with foil, making sure foil isn’t touching cheese.
Bake: Bake covered at 375°F for 40 minutes. Remove foil and broil another 2-3 minutes or until cheese is lightly golden. Garnish with parsley to serve.

Notes

Cook a few extra lasagna noodles in case they break. This dish can be stored baked and cooled in the fridge or freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.
