Three Cheese Lasagna Rolls Recipe
Ingredients:
- 12 lasagna noodles
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped (optional)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing the baking dish)
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the Lasagna Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lasagna noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay the noodles flat on a baking sheet to cool.
- Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, and the beaten egg. Add the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. If using spinach, stir it into the cheese mixture.
- Assemble the Lasagna Rolls: Spread about 1/2 cup of marinara sauce on the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Lay a cooked lasagna noodle on a clean surface. Spread a generous amount of the cheese mixture over the noodle. Starting at one end, roll the noodle up tightly. Place the roll seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining noodles and cheese mixture.
- Add the Sauce and Cheese: Once all the lasagna rolls are in the baking dish, pour the remaining marinara sauce over the top of the rolls. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the sauce.
- Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Let the lasagna rolls cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired. Enjoy your Three Cheese Lasagna Rolls!
Tips:
- Feel free to add cooked ground beef, sausage, or vegetables to the cheese mixture for added flavor.
