Lasagna Roll Ups
Description
Lasagna Roll Ups start with cooked lasagna sheets boiled until just tender. The filling combines softened cream cheese or ricotta with shredded mozzarella and fresh parsley, giving the rolls a creamy and herbaceous interior. Ground beef is cooked with finely chopped onion, garlic, bell pepper, and dried Italian herbs, then simmered in marinara and tomato paste to create a seasoned meat sauce that is layered both inside and beneath the rolls.
Each pasta sheet is spread with the cheese mixture, topped with meat sauce, then rolled tightly and arranged seam side down in a baking dish. The rolls are topped with additional sauce and cheese before baking until hot and bubbly. The final dish offers tender pasta with a creamy, cheesy center and a savory beef tomato sauce, making it satisfying and well layered in flavor and texture.
This dish is suitable for potlucks or family meals where individual servings might be preferred over traditional layered lasagna. It can be paired with a simple green salad or garlic bread to complete the meal. There are no additional notes on storage or make-ahead options provided.
