Prepare the Oven:
Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures it’s at the right temperature for baking the roll-ups.
Mix the Cheese Filling:
In a mixing bowl, blend together the ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of mozzarella, 1/2 cup of Parmesan, the beaten egg, parsley, dried basil, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until the mixture is thoroughly combined.
Assemble the Roll-Ups:
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and add flavor.
Lay the cooked lasagna noodles flat on a clean surface.
Spread about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture over each noodle. Ensure it’s evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Evenly distribute the cooked sausage on top of the cheese layer along each noodle.
Roll and Bake:
Carefully roll each noodle from one end to the other and place seam-side down in the sauced baking dish.
Once all the noodles are rolled and placed in the dish, top with the remaining marinara sauce. Sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the sauce.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown on top.
Serve and Enjoy:
Allow the dish to cool slightly before serving; this helps the roll-ups set and makes them easier to serve.
Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired, alongside your favorite sides or a simple salad.
These lasagna roll-ups are not only visually appealing but packed with delicious flavors, making them a sure hit for any occasion. They offer a fun and individualized way to enjoy the classic lasagna experience. Enjoy your meal!
