Lasagna Rollups
"My daughter makes these - they are great because you can make a batch and freeze, then take out 2 or 3 to bake when you want lasagna. We also make these for our local science fiction convention and they're gone as soon as they're put out. Hope you enjoy!"

- Add half of the sauce to the meat and stir.
- In medium bowl mix egg, ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese and 1 cup of the mozzarella.
- Spread each noodle with 2 heaping tablespoonfuls of the cheese mixture. Leave end of noodle almost dry.
- Spread a layer of meat mixture over the cheese.
- Roll up each noodle starting at one of the short ends (away from the dryer edge). As you roll them up, the some of the filling will spread to the dry end.
- At this point you can freeze them. . . .or.
- Place a small amount of sauce on the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish. Place roll-ups seam side down. Pour remaining sauce mixture over noodles. Cover with foil and bake.
- BAKE 45 minute or until hot and bubbly.
- The last 15 minutes, take off the foil and sprinkle the remaining cheeses on top. Continue baking for the rest of the 45 minutes. so cheese melts.
- From frozen:.
- Either let thaw overnight in the refrigerator and bake as directed above, or you can bake straight from the freezer, just add another 15 - 20 minutes of cooking time (until heated through). If you're only doing 2 or 3, a loaf pan is great!

This was easy enough for DH to make! I gave him the recipe, left the house and came back to a great dinner. He didn't complain about making it, so it must not have been too hard LOL. Made for Think Pink Tag Game 2011 -
This is great! I did find it hard to roll up the noodles but that is just my fumbling fingers probably more than anything! I did add a clove of garlic to the beef while browning as I did not see a lot of seasoning in the recipe as jarred sauces just need a bit of help. Overall a good recipe that shows off lasagna a bit more than the standard fair. Thanks for sharing in the Potluck Tag game. -
Recipe was great there was not way to get them in an 8×8. Please correct -
"Roll up each noodle starting at one of the short ends (away from the dryer edge). As you roll them up, the some of the filling will spread to the dry end." I think you mean roll TOWARD the dry end. -
This is an easy recipe for lasagna rolls. I also added two chopped garlic cloves and Italian spices to the meat for more flavor and cooked the lasagna noodles a little more to soften for easy roll up. Thanks for this recipe. Also tagged for THINK PINK RECIPE TAG EVENT - October 2011.

Definitely needed a bigger dish than 8 inches, I used my biggest 10-inch casserole dish. We also add a little sugar to the jarred pasta sauce to make it a bit sweeter. Great recipe!!!

I love trying new recipes and once a month cooking (though I don't do it as often as I'd like). I am absolutely getting hooked on the tag games!
Thank you to everyone who has tried my recipes, I hope you're liking them as much as my family does!
My favorite magnet is one I got from my MIL that has a bunny hopping around saying I'm to busy to be organized. Story of my life. I have three great kids who are growing up way too fast, I'm not ready for empty nest syndrome. I married a wonderful man in 2009 who took me to Alaska on our honeymoon, It was one of the top two places I've always wanted to visit (not one he really had a desire to go to). Next year he's taking me to the other one he and I both want - Australia. Guess I like places that start with A's.
