The Best Lasagna Roll Ups Recipe

Ingredients:

12 lasagna noodles
1 lb ground beef
1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce
1 container (15 oz) ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

 Noodle Prep: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the lasagna noodles as per the package's instructions, then drain and arrange them on a clean towel to avoid sticking.

 Meat Sauce Magic: In a skillet, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat before stirring in the marinara sauce, creating a rich and savory meat sauce.

 Cheese Mixture Mastery: In a separate bowl, blend together the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, egg, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. This mixture will add a creamy, flavorful layer to your roll-ups.

 Sauce Foundation: Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce across the bottom of your baking dish. This base prevents the roll-ups from sticking and adds flavor from the bottom up.

 Roll-Up Construction: Lay out the lasagna noodles and spread a spoonful of the cheese mixture onto each one. Carefully roll up the noodles and place them seam side down in the prepared baking dish.

 Final Assembly: Once all the roll-ups are snug in the dish, top them with the remaining meat sauce and sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella cheese over the top.

 Bake to Perfection: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, signaling your lasagna roll-ups are ready to delight.
