Lasagna Roll Ups
All the flavors of a classic lasagna are present in this dish, but wrapped up in a fun approach that makes puts an interesting twist on dinner! We also love how rolling up lasagna noodles means that you have perfectly portioned servings ready to be dished out or placed in containers to enjoy as leftovers later in the week. It’s also really easy to bake only half a batch of lasagna roll ups and freeze the rest to have on hand. Just thaw the frozen lasagna roll ups in the fridge overnight then bake as directed. The kids also really enjoy helping with this one because it’s so fun rolling up the fillings in the lasagna noodles.
What goes into lasagna roll ups?
Lasagna noodles – you will want the classic kind that you boil, rather than the no-cook kind. Marinara sauce – buy your favorite jar of marinara sauce or make it at home from scratch. Ground beef – if you want, you could use mild or spicy Italian sauce instead for a different flavor profile. Onion – sauteeing the onion with the ground beef helps make jarred marinara sauce taste like it was homemade. Minced garlic Salt & pepper Ricotta cheese Egg Dried Italian herbs – some basil, oregano, and garlic powder are added because they are all classic Italian flavors. Mozzarella cheese – use freshly grated mozzarella cheese since it melts better than the pre-shredded kind that is coated in a powder to prevent it from sticking. Parmesan cheese – we recommend freshly grated Parmesan cheese rather than the powdered kind from a bottle. Parsley – fresh chopped Italian flat leaf parsley adds a bit of color and flavor to the finished dish.
How to make lasagna roll ups
Is lasagna better with ricotta or cottage cheese?
I have found that you can really use either option when making lasagna roll ups, so it mostly comes down to personal preference. Ricotta cheese is a more classic approach to lasagna, but cottage cheese is typically lower in fat and calories.
Why do you put eggs in lasagna?
The egg in the cheese mixture for filling the lasagna roll ups works as a binding agent to help so the cheese doesn’t ooze out as much when serving. Another thing that helps lasagna be less runny is to let it sit for at least 10 minutes before serving any of the lasagna roll ups. This gives them time to set up a bit.
