My ultimate go to easy dinner fix is usually Lasagna. When I start making Lasagna Roll Ups, I get a huge praise from my boys. They love the roll ups so much better than pan lasagna. What do I say to that, heck yeah cause to me it’s so easy to prepare.

The past couple of times that I have made my lasagna I haven’t used hamburger in the sauce. I’m thinking this may be the reason the boys enjoy it so much. I spruce up the marinara sauce with onions and tomatoes and they really like it a lot better. For this reason I always have a jar of marinara sauce in the cabinets, so adding just a few ingredients makes it so good.

When I went to make my sauce for the lasagna this past time, of course I only had about 2/3 cup left. Thank goodness I had several tomatoes on the counter and plenty of onions. Therefore I was able to chop these up, add a little water and bam, sauce was made. And boy was it soooo good.

Sauce for Lasagna Roll ups:

• 2/3 cup of marinara sauce
• 1 large onion diced
• 4 Roma tomatoes diced
• salt
• pepper
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1/2 cup water

Directions:

• In a medium pot warm up the marinara sauce along with the water. Bring to a boil.
• Add Roma tomatoes, onions, salt, pepper and minced garlic. Bring to a boil.
• Simmer on low heat until noodles are done and your ready to assemble the lasagna rolls.

 

 

Cheese Filling:

• 1 egg
• 4 oz Ricotta Cheese
• 1 cup Parmesan Cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic power
  **Mix all ingredients in a bowl until well mixed together. Set aside until noodles are complete**

Other ingredients:

• 9-10 noodles
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup dried or fresh chives

Directions for Lasagna Roll Ups:

• Cook 9-10 noodles until al dente. Drain water and set aside to cool. (I will also run water over them to cool them off faster).
• Lay noodle flat on counter, add 2 tablespoons of cheese filling and spread evenly over entire noodle. Roll noodle up into a perfect roll. Repeat until all noodles are used up or cheese filling is gone.
• Spread 4-5 tablespoons of the marinara sauce on the bottom of a greased 9×13 baking dish. Add lasagna rolls to baking dish. Once all rolls are in the dish, add the remaining marinara sauce over each individual roll.
• Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over rolls.
• Bake in a 375° oven for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Lastly sprinkle dried or fresh chives over rolls.

 

 

 

As always, I like to top my lasagna off with my homemade Pesto. Just adds a little more garlic to it, since I’m such a huge fan of garlic. Definitely think I would die if I wasn’t able to use garlic on just about everything that I fix. 🙂

 

Hope you guys enjoy this easy and simple Lasagna Roll up recipe. 🙂 Check out this recipe for my homemade Pesto.
