Lasagna Roll Ups
Lasagna Roll Ups are just as tasty as Classic Lasagna, but easier to serve and pre-portioned. This recipe makes a deliciously satisfying Ragu sauce from jarred or homemade marinara with a decadent 3-cheese sauce as filling. Roll it all up in a lasagna noodle and bake to perfection. The dish keeps well, so it's perfect for making ahead or sharing with a neighbor.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Cook the noodles - Preheat oven to 375˚F. Cook noodles in a large pot of salted water according to package instructions for al dente (don't overcook), then drain and fill pot with cold water to stop the cooking process and keep noodles from sticking together.
2
Meat Sauce - In a deep pan or Dutch oven, over medium-high heat, cook ground beef until no longer pink, breaking up with a spatula (⏱️ 2 min). Add onion and cook until softened (⏱️ 3 minutes). Add garlic, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, and 1/2 tsp oregano and sauté another minute. Add marinara, bring to a simmer, and turn off the heat. Spread 1/2 cup meat sauce over the bottom of a casserole dish.

Cheese Sauce - In a large bowl, stir together: ricotta, 1 egg, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, and 1/4 cup parsley.

Roll - To contain messiness, arrange noodles over a large baking sheet in a single layer. Spread 1/4 cup (1 scant ice cream scoop) of cheese mixture over the top of each noodle. Add a heaping Tbsp of meat sauce in a strip down the center of the noodle. Roll noodles up and arrange in the prepared casserole dish.
5
Top - Spread remaining meat sauce over the tops of roll-ups and sprinkle on the remaining 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella cheese. Cover with foil, making sure foil isn't touching cheese (if your pan is on the shallow side, you can put toothpicks into rolls to keep the foil away from cheese.
