Ingredients
– 12 lasagna noodles
– 2 cups ricotta cheese
– 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 large egg
– 2 cups marinara sauce
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Creating Lasagna Rolls can be a straightforward process if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a large baking dish.
2. Cook Noodles: Boil the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay them flat on a clean kitchen towel.
3. Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, the egg, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
4. Assemble Rolls: On each noodle, spread about 2-3 tablespoons of the cheese mixture evenly. Carefully roll the noodle from one end to the other, making sure the filling stays inside.
5. Place in Baking Dish: Spread a layer of marinara sauce at the bottom of the greased baking dish. Place each roll seam-side down in the dish.
6. Top with Sauce and Cheese: Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the rolls. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
7. Cover with Foil: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to prevent excess browning.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
9. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
10. Garnish: Optionally, garnish with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and flavor.
