Lasagna Roll Ups
Description
The recipe starts by browning seasoned ground beef with onion and garlic, then mixing it with pasta sauce to create a savory filling. Separately, cooked lasagna noodles are spread with a mixture of ricotta (or cottage cheese), defrosted spinach, mozzarella, parmesan, and egg to bind. The noodles are rolled jelly-roll style, enclosing the cheese filling.
The roll-ups are placed in a baking dish layered with meat sauce, covered with foil for even cooking, and baked until the flavors meld and the cheeses soften. Then, the foil is removed and additional cheese is sprinkled on top and baked again to create a melted, golden cheese crust. This method produces tender noodles with creamy melted cheese and seasoned meat inside.
These roll-ups are an easier to serve alternative to classic layered lasagna, with convenient individual portions that retain rich tomato and cheese flavor. They can be served with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
