  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 12 lasagna noodles
  • 1 lb ground beef or turkey
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (15 oz) container ricotta cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups marinara sauce, divided
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley (optional for garnish)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (for cream sauce)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for cream sauce)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste (for sauce)

Instructions

  1. Boil lasagna noodles until al dente, then drain and lay flat on parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. In a skillet, cook ground meat over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until softened. Stir in 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce. Set aside.
  3. In a bowl, mix ricotta, 1/2 cup mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, salt, and pepper.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and spread 1/2 cup marinara sauce on the bottom.
  5. Spread 2–3 tablespoons of ricotta mixture over each noodle, top with meat sauce, then roll tightly. Place seam-side down in dish.
  6. For sauce: melt butter in a saucepan, add garlic and sauté 1–2 minutes. Stir in cream, simmer, then add Parmesan and garlic powder. Simmer until slightly thickened. Season to taste.
  7. Pour garlic Parmesan sauce over roll-ups. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella. Cover with foil and bake 20–25 minutes.
  8. Remove foil and bake an additional 5–10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Use sausage instead of beef/turkey for a richer flavor.
  • Substitute ricotta with cottage cheese for a lighter option.
  • Store-bought Alfredo sauce can replace the cream sauce in a pinch.
  • Make-ahead and freeze before baking for convenient prep.
  • Lay noodles flat after boiling to prevent sticking.
