Ingredients
- 12 lasagna noodles cooked according to package instructions (340g or 0.75 lb.)
- 16 oz. ground beef 454g
- 24 oz. marinara sauce 680g
- 1/2 cup diced onion 75g
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tsp sea salt or to taste for red sauce
- 1/2 tsp black pepper or to taste
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 15 oz. ricotta cheese 425g
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese shredded (25g)
- 3 cups mozzarella cheese shredded and divided (340g or 0.75 lb.)
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley plus more for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the lasagna noodles in a large pot of salted water according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.
- In a deep pan or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Add diced onion and cook until softened. Stir in minced garlic, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, and 1/2 tsp oregano for 1 minute. Add marinara sauce, bring to a simmer, and remove from heat.
- Spread 1/2 cup of the meat sauce on the bottom of a casserole dish.
- In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, and chopped parsley.
- Place cooked lasagna noodles in a single layer on a baking sheet. Spread 1/4 cup of the cheese mixture on each noodle, followed by a strip of meat sauce down the center.
- Roll up the noodles and place them in the casserole dish on top of the meat sauce.
- Pour the remaining meat sauce over the roll-ups and sprinkle with the remaining 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese.
- Cover the dish with foil, ensuring the foil doesn't touch the cheese. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 40 minutes.
- Remove the foil and broil for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is lightly golden.
- Garnish with parsley and serve the delicious Lasagna Roll-Ups.
