Description
Lasagna Roll Ups are a delicious twist on traditional lasagna, featuring noodles rolled with a rich cheese filling and savory meat sauce, making for easy-to-serve, individual portions.
Ingredients
- 15 oz ricotta cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp dried basil
- ½ tsp dried parsley
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- ½ lb ground beef
- ½ lb ground Italian sausage
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 32 oz marinara sauce
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
- 1 tsp hot sauce (optional)
- 12 lasagna noodles (plus a couple extra in case of breakage)
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, egg, mozzarella, Parmesan, oregano, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté diced onion until soft, about 10 minutes. Add ground beef and sausage; cook until browned. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Drain excess grease.
- Deglaze the pan with chicken broth, then add marinara sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Let simmer while preparing noodles.
- Cook lasagna noodles in salted water until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water.
- Lay noodles flat on parchment paper. Spread about 2½ tablespoons of cheese filling on each noodle, then top with about ¼ cup of meat sauce. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish with some sauce at the bottom.
- Spoon remaining meat sauce over the roll ups and top with remaining mozzarella cheese. Cover with foil sprayed with cooking spray and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35 minutes. Broil uncovered for a few minutes for a golden top.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Optionally garnish with chopped parsley and serve with garlic bread.
Notes
- Rinse noodles with cold water and lay flat on parchment to prevent sticking.
- Vegetarian version can use sautéed veggies instead of meat.
- Roll ups can be frozen before baking for up to 3 months.
- Add extra cheese layers for richer flavor.
- Use your favorite jarred or homemade marinara sauce.
