Description
Lasagna Roll Ups taste like a classic lasagna, but are made slightly differently. Made with savory ground beef, marinara sauce, and ricotta cheese, this recipe is creamy, cheesy, and hearty.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 lasagna sheets
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 32 ounces marinara
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 (15-ounce) tub ricotta cheese
- 3 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Step: Preheat your oven to 375°F and set aside a 9×13 casserole dish.
- Step: Cook lasagna sheets according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and soak in a pot of cold water to prevent them from sticking.
- Step: In a medium pot over medium-high heat, cook the lean ground beef, onion, and garlic until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in the marinara and dried oregano. Bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat.
- Step: In a large bowl, combine the ricotta, 2 cups of mozzarella, parmesan, parsley, and egg.
- Step: Spread ½ cup of the meat sauce on the bottom of a casserole dish.
- Step: To make the roll ups, lay out each sheet of lasagna and spread a 1/4 cup of the ricotta mixture onto each sheet. Add 2 tablespoons of the meat sauce down the middle of each sheet. Roll up and place in the casserole dish.
- Step: Pour the remaining meat sauce over the rolls and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella.
- Step: Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes until the cheese is lightly browned on top.
Notes
Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to one week or frozen for several months. For best results, let the rolls cool completely before freezing.
