Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 lasagna noodles
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce
  • 15 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  5. Pour in the marinara sauce and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
  6. In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  7. Spread about 1/4 cup of the ricotta mixture onto each cooked lasagna noodle.
  8. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the meat sauce over the ricotta mixture.
  9. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
  10. Carefully roll up each lasagna noodle.
  11. Pour about 1 cup of the remaining marinara sauce into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  12. Arrange the lasagna roll-ups seam-side down in the baking dish.
  13. Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the roll-ups.
  14. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top.
  15. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  16. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, omit the ground beef and add sautéed mushrooms and spinach to the filling.
  • You can make these ahead of time and refrigerate them. Bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes if needed.
