Steps
Steps
. Follow these simple steps to prepare and cook the lasagna rolls:
1. Cook the lasagna noodles
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the meat sauce
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until the meat is browned and the onion is softened. Drain any excess grease from the skillet. Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Simmer the sauce for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Prepare the cheese filling
In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and beaten egg. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
4. Assemble the lasagna rolls
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray. Take one lasagna noodle and spread a layer of the cheese filling evenly over the noodle. Roll up the noodle tightly and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat this process with the remaining noodles and filling.
5. Bake the lasagna rolls
Once all the rolls are assembled in the baking dish, pour the meat sauce over the rolls, covering them completely. Sprinkle some additional mozzarella cheese on top if desired. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Variations
. There are several variations you can try to customize your lasagna rolls:
– Vegetarian option: Replace the ground beef with a mix of sautéed vegetables such as mushrooms, zucchini, and bell peppers.
– Seafood option: Substitute the ground beef with cooked shrimp or crab meat for a delicious seafood twist.
– Spinach and cheese filling: Add cooked spinach to the cheese filling mixture for an extra burst of flavor and nutrients.
