Description

These lasagna roll-ups are packed with creamy ricotta, melty mozzarella, and savory Parmesan — all rolled with hearty Italian sausage and baked in rich marinara sauce. A comforting twist on a classic favorite!

Ingredients

Scale

  • 12 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained

  • 1 pound Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 large egg, beaten

  • 2 cups marinara sauce

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

  • 1 teaspoon dried basil

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat while you prepare the roll-ups.

2. Prepare the Cheese Mixture

In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, the beaten egg, chopped parsley, dried basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until well-combined.

3. Spread Marinara Sauce

Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. This helps keep the roll-ups from sticking and adds flavor to the base.

4. Assemble the Roll-Ups

Lay the cooked lasagna noodles flat on a clean surface. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture on each noodle, then top with 2 tablespoons of the cooked and crumbled sausage.

5. Roll and Place in Dish

Carefully roll each noodle up, placing them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Continue this process until all the noodles are filled and placed in the dish.

6. Top with Sauce and Cheese

Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the roll-ups, ensuring each roll is covered. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top for a cheesy finish.

7. Bake

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. For a crispy, golden top, remove the foil for the last 5 minutes of baking.

8. Serve and Enjoy

Let the lasagna roll-ups cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, use low-fat cheeses and lean turkey sausage.

  • This recipe is a great make-ahead option for busy nights—just pop it in the oven and let it bake while you relax!
