Lasagna Roll-ups Recipe

Sharing is caring!

Sometimes I get tired of the same pasta-noodles-cheese combinations, so I made these Lasagna Roll-ups. I did this one a few years back, and to be honest, I’ve forgotten about it! It is a little more time consuming than just a regular noodle-sauce-pasta-in-the-oven-dish, but it is so worth the extra prep work. I love ricotta cheese, and the parsley gives it a slight burst of freshness. A “bunch” of parsley was $.88 at Wal-mart the other day. So it’s nothing that will break your wallet. Of course, if you don’t have any, it’s perfectly fine without it. I think most of you probably have your version of this. Let me know how you do yours! And if you want to go for a change, try this one next time!

Lasagna Roll-ups

Lasagna Roll-ups Ingredients:

9-12 lasagna noodles
1 lb. ground beef
1 regular sized jar spaghetti sauce (plus 1-1/2 cups extra)
1 15-oz. ricotta cheese
3 cups shredded cheese (mozzarella or Italian blend)
1 tablespoon Italian flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
salt and pepper

How To Make Lasagna Roll-ups:

Cook pasta according to package directions. Lay out on a work surface to cool when done. You might want to drizzle them with a little olive oil or spray with a butter flavored cooking spray (that’s what I did).

Meanwhile, brown the beef in a skillet over medium heat until brown, breaking up the bigger pieces with a wooden spoon. Drain off excess fat (I use a baster for this most of the time). Pour 1/2 cup sauce in the bottom of a 9- inch baking dish. Pour the rest of the sauce in the meat. Simmer over low about 5 minutes.

In a large bowl, mix ricotta cheese, 2 cups shredded mozzarella, 1 tablespoon chopped parsley and salt and pepper (to taste). Mix well.

Lay out a lasagna noodle. Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture over noodle. Top with approximately 2 tablespoons of meat. Gently roll up and place on top of sauce in baking dish. Repeat until your dish is full. My dish held 9 lasagna rolls. Top with any meat that is left. Pour an additional 1-1/2 cups sauce over lasagna rolls. Top with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese (or more if you feel adventurous!)

Bake in a 400-degree oven for 30 minutes or until bubbly. Serve with salad and breadsticks.

Enjoy!
