Lasagna and Meat Sauce Roll Ups

 

 

 

 

Great dish for Italian Night at home~9 lasagna noodles (I use Mueller) add a bit of salt to the water and cook as per package instructions to al dente. Drain, lay flat on a clean work surface. In a saucepan add 8 ounces ground beef, grated 1/2 onion, add salt and black pepper to taste, one teaspoon garlic powder, one teaspoon oregano, and cook until meat is browned, drain and return to pan, add 20 ounce jar of marinara or tomato sauce, stir and cook on low heat 8 minutes. You’ll need 1 cup Ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella.

In a small bowl add ricotta cheese and parmesan and stir to mix, doing one lasagna noodle at a time spoon ricotta cheese mixture down the middle of entire length of noodle, gently roll up and place seam side down in a baking dish, repeat with the other 8 noodles. Add meat sauce on top, shredded mozzarella (picture shown is before baking). If you would like to freeze do so before baking. I use small aluminum tin baking pans that fit 3-4 roll ups. Add remaining meat sauce in the baking dish.

Place into a 375 F hot oven and bake 15-18 minutes, garnish with more shredded mozzarella or parmesan. These are so good!

I hope you’ll enjoy them.
