  • Lasagna Roll Ups

    Lasagna Roll Ups

    If you love lasagna, just wait until you try it in roll-up form. Lasagna Roll Ups have the same components as the classic Italian dish, but instead of a layered casserole, each noodle is stuffed and rolled in a spiral. 

    With this take on lasagna, you get individual rolls, each one portioned with the perfect ratio of noodles, meat, cheese, and sauce. Also, look how cute!

    Plus, you can assemble it ahead of time, freeze for months, and bake later, making dinnertime a breeze.

    Serve them now or save them for later. Either way, these roll ups always deliver.

    Ingredients

    • 12 lasagna noodles

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil

    • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped

    • 2 cloves garlic, minced

    • 8 ounces ground beef

    Directions

    • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lasagna noodles and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
    • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic for about 3 minutes. Add ground beef and Italian sausage, breaking them up with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
    • Stir in 1 cup of the marinara sauce. Season with salt, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
    • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. In a bowl, whisk together ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella, Parmesan, 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1 tablespoon parsley, salt, and pepper.

    Notes

    • Lay lasagna on parchment paper. Cooked noodles will stick together. Arrange them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place another sheet of parchment on top, then stack another layer. Repeat as needed.
    • Set up an assembly line. Organize the meat sauce, cheese mixture, and toppings in a row to make assembly quicker and easier.
