Lasagna Roll-Ups
For my first ever rendition of Healthyish pantry pasta, I decided to make lasagna roll-ups. They are easy to make, filling and delicious. Plus, they’re made from simple ingredients that you can find in your refrigerator or pantry.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. lasagna sheets
- 1 cup mozzarella , shredded or sliced will work. This goes on top of the pasta before it bakes.
- 3 cups red sauce, jarred is fine
Cheese Filling:
- 2.5 cups ricotta cheese, part skim
- 2.5 cups shredded mozzarella
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 egg plus 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 2 teaspoons oregano
Optional Garnishes:
- fresh chopped parsley
- red pepper flakes
- cracked black pepper
Equipment
- pasta pot
- sauce pot
- baking dish 9 x 13
- baking tray
- colander
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Gently spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with baking spray. Set it aside.
- Boil a pot of water and cook the pasta according to the package. Al dente is best.
- Once the pasta is cooked, drain it using a colander and drizzle the sheets with olive oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
- Heat your pasta sauce in a small sauce pot. Stir occasionally.
Prepare the Cheese Filling.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, parmesan cheese, 1 egg and 1 egg yolk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and oregano. Stir until well combined.
- Grab your prepared baking dish and add 1-2 ladles of the sauce to the bottom. Spread it out across the bottom of the dish.
- Next, line a baking tray with a 4-5 cooked pasta sheets. Using a spoon, smear a good amount of cheese filling on the pasta. Roll the pasta up and place it in the baking dish. Repeat.
- I was able to make 20 roll-ups. I had three rows of five roll-ups on the bottom of the baking dish; but had to stack the last five roll-ups on top of the center row.
- Top with more sauce, about 2 ladles and sliced mozzarella. Bake covered with foil for 25-30 minutes. Remove the foil and broil for 2-3 minutes until the cheese gets extra bubbly and lightly browned.
- Let the lasagana roll-ups stand for 10 minutes before serving. This will help prevent the cheese from running out of the sides.
- Serve and enjoy!
