Cheesy Beef Lasagna Roll Ups

Cheesy Beef Lasagna Roll Ups

  • Total Time: 13 minute
  • Diet: Not specified

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 lasagna noodles (cooked according to package directions)
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 24 ounces marinara sauce (reserve 1/2 cup for the bottom of the dish)
  • 15 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (divided)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish and spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce evenly over the bottom.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until they are “al dente.” Drain the noodles and lay them out flat on a sheet of parchment paper or aluminum foil to prevent sticking.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion. Break the meat apart with a spoon until it is browned and no longer pink. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
  4. Stir the remaining marinara sauce into the beef mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Let the sauce simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
  5. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, beaten egg, parmesan cheese, 1 cup of the shredded mozzarella, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until smooth.
  6. To assemble, take one cooked lasagna noodle and spread about 2 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture evenly across the surface. Top the cheese layer with 2 to 3 tablespoons of the beef sauce.
  7. Carefully roll the noodle up from one end to the other. Place the roll, seam-side down, into the prepared baking dish.
  8. Repeat the process for all remaining noodles. Spoon any leftover meat sauce over the top of the rolls.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over the top of the roll ups.
  10. Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
  11. Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley.
