Recipe: Lasagna roll ups

We love, love, love this simple make-ahead recipe at home and in our children’s cooking studios! I often make a large batch at home, and freeze half for later.

Serve with a green garden salad or you can sneak in some healthy goodness by adding sautéed veggies in the spaghetti sauce! YUM!

Ingredients

2 cups mozzarella cheese, divided

Preheat oven to 350°F. Brown meat in skillet on medium-high heat; drain. Combine spaghetti sauce. Remove half of the sauce mixture; stir into meat in skillet. Set remaining sauce mixture aside for later use.

Mix egg, ricotta cheese and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese. Spread each noodle with 2 heaping tablespoons of the ricotta mixture. Top evenly with a scant 1/4 cup meat mixture and 2 heaping Tbsp. mozzarella cheese. Roll up each noodle, starting at one of the short ends. Place in greased 8-inch square baking dish. Pour remaining sauce mixture over noodles. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses; cover with foil.

Bake 45 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
