Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. This step is crucial for ensuring your Lasagna Roll Ups cook evenly and the cheese melts perfectly.
  2. Spray a 13 x 9 x 2 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. This will prevent your delicious rolls from sticking to the bottom, making it easier to serve later.
  3. Cook the 12 lasagna noodles according to the package directions until they are al dente. Once cooked, drain them and set them aside. This helps keep them from sticking together.
  4. In a large skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 pound ground beef. Cook over medium heat until the beef is no longer pink, which should take about 5 minutes. Make sure to break it apart as it cooks for even browning.
  5. Once the beef is cooked, stir in 2 teaspoons minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, just enough to release its fragrant aroma.
  6. Next, pour in 24 ounces jarred or homemade marinara sauce and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
  7. Season the mixture with 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning and ½ teaspoon salt according to your taste preferences. This step is vital for ensuring every bite is flavorful.
  8. In a large bowl, combine 15 ounces ricotta cheese, 1 large egg, 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, ⅓ cup shredded parmesan cheese, and ¼ teaspoon garlic powder. Stir until all the ingredients are well mixed, creating a creamy filling.
  9. To assemble, lay the cooked noodles flat on a clean surface. Spread two tablespoons of the cheese mixture on each noodle, ensuring even coverage. Then, spoon a bit of the beef sauce on top of the cheese layer.
  10. Carefully roll up each lasagna noodle tightly and transfer them to the baking dish, arranging them in rows. It’s okay if they touch; they will meld together as they bake.
  11. Spoon the reserved sauce over the rolled noodles, ensuring they are generously covered. Then, sprinkle with 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese and ½ cup parmesan cheese on top.
  12. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. After that, uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will give it that golden, crispy finish we all adore.
  13. Once out of the oven, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley or basil for a touch of color and freshness. Serve with love and enjoy!
