- 9 lasagna noodles
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay them flat on a clean kitchen towel to cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is well combined and creamy.
- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish, just enough to coat the bottom.
- Take one lasagna noodle and spread about 2-3 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture evenly over the noodle. Carefully roll the noodle up from one end to the other, creating a tight roll. Place the roll seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat this process with the remaining noodles and filling.
- Once all the roll-ups are in the dish, pour the remaining marinara sauce over the top, making sure to cover all the noodles. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the sauce, ensuring an even layer.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Let the lasagna roll-ups cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, ensure the marinara sauce is meat-free.
- Feel free to add vegetables like spinach or mushrooms to the ricotta mixture for added nutrition.
- These roll-ups can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator before baking.
