First Up: Delicious and Easy Lasagna Roll Ups
These lasagna roll ups are perfect for a weeknight meal. They only take about 30 minutes to make, so you can have dinner on the table in no time. Plus, they're packed with cheese and flavor, so it's a win-win situation.
Flavor and Taste
These lasagna roll ups are cheesy and delicious. They're perfect for anyone who loves Italian food. The noodles are cooked al dente and then filled with a mixture of ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan cheese. The sauce is a simple tomato sauce that is flavored with garlic, onion, and Italian seasoning. The combination of all of these flavors is pure perfection.
Ingredients and Materials
For the lasagna roll ups, you'll need:
- 12 lasagna noodles
- 3 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup of ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning
- 1 minced garlic clove
- 1/2 diced onion
- 1 can of tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
You'll also need a baking dish and a large pot to cook the noodles.
How to Make
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. After the noodles are cooked, drain them and set them aside.
While the noodles are cooking, heat up the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced onion and sauté until fragrant and golden. Add the tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese, and the grated parmesan cheese. Mix well.
Spoon a generous helping of the cheese mixture onto each lasagna noodle. Roll the noodle up and place it seam side down in a baking dish. Repeat with all of the noodles.
Once all of the roll ups are in the baking dish, pour the tomato sauce mixture over them. Top with the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Tips
- Make sure to cook the noodles al dente. Overcooked noodles will result in a mushy lasagna.
- Feel free to add in any additional ingredients you like. Chopped spinach, ground beef, or sliced mushrooms would all be great additions.
- If you don't have Italian seasoning, you can substitute with dried basil and oregano.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to four days.
