Lasagna Roll-Ups: A Fun Twist on Classic Comfort Food

These Lasagna Roll-Ups offer all the comforting flavors of traditional lasagna in individual portions that are easy to assemble and serve. Lasagna noodles are filled with creamy ricotta, Parmesan, mozzarella, and Italian herbs, then rolled and baked in marinara sauce until bubbling and golden. They are perfect for family dinners, meal prep, or entertaining.

Ingredients

• 12 lasagna noodles
• 2 cups ricotta cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella
• ½ cup grated Parmesan
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• 3 cups marinara sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella, for topping
• Salt and black pepper
• Fresh basil, for serving

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package directions until just tender, then drain and lay them flat on a lightly oiled baking sheet so they do not stick together. In a bowl, combine the ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce across the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over each lasagna noodle, leaving a small border around the edges. Carefully roll each noodle from one end to the other, creating a compact spiral, then place the rolls seam-side down in the baking dish.

Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the roll-ups and cover generously with mozzarella. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling. For a golden top, broil for the final 1–2 minutes while watching carefully.

Allow the roll-ups to rest for about five minutes before serving. Finish with fresh basil and additional Parmesan. Because each roll contains its own filling and sauce, they are easier to portion than traditional lasagna while delivering the same combination of tender pasta, creamy cheese, rich tomato sauce, and melted mozzarella.
