Lasagna Rolls
Servings – 9 Rolls
Prep Time – 20 Minutes
Cook Time – 40 Minutes
Ingredients:
1 package lasagna noodles
1 tablespoon of oil
1 medium onion
2 teaspoons minced garlic or 2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 lb. ground beef, Italian sausage or turkey, browned
Salt and Pepper
16 oz ricotta cheese
3 tablespoons fresh parsley or basil, chopped
2 eggs
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder, (in addition to above garlic)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese divided
32 oz marinara sauce
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9x13 glass casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large sauce pot cook noodles according to directions on the box. Adding 1 tablespoon of oil (so the noodles won't stick together). Drain and lay flat on wax paper to cool.
In a large pan over medium heat, brown beef, sausage or turkey, onions and minced or powdered garlic. Cook until browned and no longer pink in color. Drain off excess grease. Add in 2 cups of Marinara sauce, simmer for 10 minutes.
In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, eggs, parmesan, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, pepper, chopped basil or parsley and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese. Spread 1 cup of Marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish.
Spoon the ricotta mixture over the surface of each noodle, spreading about ¼ inch thick. Add in a layer meat sauce mixture and gently roll up each noodle and place it in the prepared baking dish.
Spoon marinara sauce over the top of each lasagna roll and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes:
Cover leftovers with aluminum foil or put them in an airtight container and store them in the fridge. They will last 3-4 days.
