Ingredients 

  • 12 lasagna noodles
  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella
  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan
  • 2 ½ cups ricotta
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 3 ½ cups marinara sauce (or your favorite pasta sauce)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  • Cook your lasagna noodles just until al dente, drain them, and pat them dry. Lay them out on a kitchen towel to prevent them from sticking to each other.
  • In a large bowl, stir together 2 ½ cups of mozzarella, ⅔ cup of parmesan, and all of the ricotta.
  • Use a spoon or spatula to spread the filling out over each of the lasagna noodles. Roll each lasagna noodle like you would a cinnamon roll.
  • Cover the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish in a thin layer of marinara sauce.
  • Add each of the lasagna roll-ups and cover with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle the top of the dish with the remaining cheese.
  • Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, take off the foil, and bake for an additional 5 minutes.

Notes

Sauce Options: While marinara is classic, try alfredo sauce, pesto, or even a simple butter and herb sauce for variety. Different sauces can completely transform the flavor profile while keeping the same beloved roll-up format.
Size Adaptations: This recipe works perfectly in individual ramekins for elegant single servings, or you can make mini versions using manicotti shells instead of lasagna noodles.
Herb Enhancement: Fresh herbs like basil, oregano, or parsley added to the cheese mixture or sprinkled on top before serving elevate the flavors significantly.
Storage:Cool completely before refrigerating and store covered for optimal freshness and to prevent the top from drying out. Individual roll-ups can be removed and reheated separately, making leftovers even more convenient than traditional lasagna.
