- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 500 grams ground beef 90% lean
- salt to taste
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- ½ cup bell pepper chopped finely
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano

- 1 package cream cheese 8 oz , softened (in microwave) or ricotta cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded plus more for topping

Instructions
- Cook lasagna sheets as per package instruction until al dente.
- In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Sweat onion and garlic (cook just until limp, do not caramelize).
- Add ground beef and break up the lumps with a spatula. Season with salt, pepper, dried oregano, and dried basil. Cook until no longer pink. Then stir in the bell peppers.
- Add the pasta sauce and tomato paste. Check if it needs more seasonings. Bring to a simmer then turn off the heat. Set aside.
- In a bowl, add cream cheese/ricotta, mozzarella cheese, and chopped parsley. Mix together until well combined.
- Take ½ cup of the meat sauce and spread it over the bottom of a baking dish.
- In a baking sheet, line up the cooked lasagna noodles. Divide and spread the cheese mixture on top of each noodle. Then scoop a tablespoon of the meat sauce and spread it on top of the cheese mixture.
- Roll up the noodles and arrange them, seam side down, on the prepared baking dish. Top the rolls with the remaining meat sauce and sprinkle with more mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes in a preheated oven at 375°F/190°C or until the cheese has melted then broil (top heat at high) for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is lightly golden brown.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
