This is such a fun dish to prepare! You’ll want to cook your lasagna noodles first in salted boiling water I also add one tablespoon of Olive Oil to the boiling water. I do the noodles in batches. After they are cooked al dente I rinse and lay each one flat on my work surface, you can stack them flat!
In a mixing bowl (I use a food processor) I add 16 ounces Ricotta Cheese, 1-1/2 tablespoons fresh basil chopped finely, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 lemon-zest and juice (save the other half) and let the mixer (processor) run a few minutes to well combine. Using a small offset spatula fill the lasagna noodle (one by one-be patient here) up the middle with the filling. Gently roll the lasagna noodle up and place in a baking dish (I use non stick) seam side down. Repeat until you use all ingredients. (Now that was not hard, was it?).
The liquid is a simple lemon vegetable stock I make: very easy. Add 1-1/4 cup low sodium vegetable stock into a bowl, add the zest and juice from the other 1/2 of the lemon (from above) stir gently. Add 1 teaspoon Bottle liquid Lemon Juice Concentrate (sweetened)-there is both available at your grocery store-unsweet and sweetened. Stir together and gently pour over filled lasagna roll-ups. Cover with aluminum foil, place in a 375 F hot oven and bake 15 minutes, remove foil and bake an additional 5 minutes. Garnish with your favorite grated cheese!
I always make a huge mixed green salad, and of course crusty Italian bread (and butter!).
Note: Will easily make 12 roll-ups.
Hope you enjoy as much as we do.

Do you use fresh lasagna noodles? Love how this sounds. Prefer the individual rolls rather than the huge baking pan making one whole lasagna.

Hi Suzanne, I use only Mueller brand (box) lasagna noodles. You can make as many as you like. I do not recommend freeing them however (even after baking). Make, Bake, Eat! Cheryl

Ok so you boil the noodles first and then roll and bake. Yes agree about not freezing bake and eat that’s just how I like it!

Just cook the noodles to about al dente (They’ll still bake in juices-do not want over-cooked pasta)! Timing it once you have made them once it becomes like automatic for me, my family loves these and of course I make the traditional lasagna with ricotta/meat sauce roll ups too for them! Both are very good with a salad and crusty bread and butter! Woo Hoo- its a party in your mouth. xo Cheryl
