Lasagna Roll Ups
Print Recipe

The first time I made these, it was for a cozy family potluck—we all needed something familiar, but fun. These Lasagna Roll Ups stole the show! All the rich flavors of traditional lasagna, but rolled into tidy little bundles of love. They’re easier to serve, reheat beautifully, and are always a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

  • 8–10 lasagna noodles, cooked and laid flat

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef or Italian sausage

  • 1 cup marinara sauce (plus extra for topping)

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan

  • 1 egg

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Fresh basil (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish.

  • In a skillet, cook ground meat until browned. Drain excess fat and stir in 1 cup marinara. Set aside.

  • In a bowl, mix ricotta, egg, half of the mozzarella, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

  • Spread 2 tbsp of the ricotta mixture over each cooked lasagna noodle.

  • Add a spoonful of meat sauce, then gently roll up each noodle.

  • Place rolls seam-side down in the baking dish. Top with remaining marinara and mozzarella.

  • Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake 10 more minutes until bubbly and golden.

  • Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.

Notes

  • Use oven-ready noodles for less boiling and mess.

  • Try a spinach and ricotta version for a vegetarian twist.

  • Perfect for freezing—just bake directly from frozen, adding 10–15 extra minutes.
