Lasagna Rollups

12/9/2012

One of the few pasta dishes I can get away with at home is lasagna. While my husband won't eat any other type of pasta, he will eat lasagna. However, when there are only two people eating it, it gets pretty tiresome. Enter these rollups. I make four of them, and they're the perfect size for dinner with minimal or no leftovers. I love that I don't have to eat lasagna for an entire week when I make these. These are really easy to make, and I've made them easier by using jarred sauce. You can certainly make your own or use your favorite brand. I was going for as easy as possible here. To make these, you lay a cooked noodle flat (you can't use the no boil noodles here), spread the cheese mixture on top of it, and roll it up. Then place it in the pan, cover it with some sauce and voila. Dinner!

By the way, I'm not normally a huge pepper fan. Like at all. I'm never one to get it on my salad or put it on everything. However, I do love some fresh cracked pepper in my cheese mixture. It really adds something, so I don't recommend skipping it. I also use cottage cheese in my lasagna, but I puree it in the food processor first so I can get rid of the clumps. I like the texture/creaminess better than using ricotta, but you can certainly use either one.

Print this recipe

4 lasagna noodles, cooked al dente (don't use no boil noodles)
1 egg
1/2 cup cottage cheese or ricotta
1/4 cup grated parmesan, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 cup mozzarella, plus more for sprinkling
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
2 cups spaghetti sauce

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

If you're using cottage cheese, process it in a food processor or blender until the clumps are gone. In a medium size bowl, mix together the egg, cheeses, garlic powder, parsley, and pepper.

In a small baking dish, spread enough of the spaghetti sauce to cover the bottom of the dish.

Lay the noodles flat and dry them off with a paper towel if wet. Spread one quarter of the cheese mixture on top of one noodle, leaving one inch at the end with no cheese. Start with the other end and roll up the noodle. 

Lay the noodle flat in the baking dish. Repeat with the other noodles. Pour the rest of the spaghetti sauce on top of the noodles. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.

Uncover the dish, sprinkle the additional cheese on top, and place back in the oven for 15-20 minutes until heated through (leave it uncovered).

These roll ups are GORGEOUS! And I agree that this sounds like a MUCH better alternative to eating lasagna for a week! Hahaa :P

We love lasagna roll ups because we can make as many as we can eat without having tons of leftovers!

     Welcome!

    Cooking is fun and easy at high altitude, but baking can be frustrating. About 90% of my recipes work everywhere, but some are adjusted so us mountain dwellers can enjoy baked goods from scratch. I hope you find great recipes on here for your family, and I'll let you know if any are adjusted for high altitude. 

    Stay Updated!
