Ingredients You Need to Make Lasagna Roll-Ups
The ingredients for this fun recipe are super simple and likely already in your kitchen! All you need are some noodles, cheese, meat, seasonings, and sauce. It’s that easy! I’ve broken down the list of ingredients in the steps below.
Rollups
Lasagna Noodles: I love these big lasagna noodles that absorb all of the sauce and flavors. Shredded mozzarella: Adds the perfect salty, creamy, melty cheese. Shredded Parmesan Cheese: Gives a hint of nutty, sharp flavor.
Meat Sauce
Ground Beef: Gives the dish a hearty, beefy flavor and texture. Italian Seasoning: You can use storebought or my homemade Italian seasoning to add delicious flavor. Minced Garlic: Provides a flavorful garlic experience. Marinara Sauce: Jarred or Homemade marinara will add that sweet sauce flavor and moisture. Salt: To taste!
Cheese Mixture
Garlic Powder: Enhances the garlic flavor and aroma of the lasagna roll ups. Ricotta Cheese: Gives the dish a creamy texture and mild cheesy flavor. Egg: Acts as a binding agent. Shredded Mozzarella: Adds the perfect amount of salty, cheesy goodness. Shredded Parmesan Cheese: Gives a depth of flavor to the mozzarella and ricotta.
Lasagna Roll-Ups Recipe
I know making lasagna can seem intimidating, but these roll-ups are a much simpler version. Plus, with my easy step-by-step instructions, you’ll be a pro in no time! Even better, your kids can join in on the fun and help put them together!
Marinara Sauce: I like to use my homemade marinara Sauce when I’m feeling ambitious, but you can also use store-bought. Ricotta Cheese: Ricotta cheese is a classic lasagna ingredient, but you can substitute it with cottage cheese if you prefer. I have found that you can use either option, so it mostly comes down to personal preference. Ricotta cheese is a more classic approach to lasagna, but cottage cheese is typically lower in fat and calories. Meat Substitutions: Feel free to use ground turkey, sausage, or a combination of beef, turkey, or sausage. If you like a little more spice, try using hot Italian sausage. Aluminum Foil: Be sure to cover the lasagna rollups with foil for the first 30 minutes of baking. This way, the top doesn’t brown too quickly. Garnish with Fresh Herbs: A sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley or fresh basil adds the perfect finishing pop of color to your lasagna roll ups! Serve With: You could serve these with my favorite Italian bread twists, La Scala (Kardashian) salad, and then have my chocolate zucchini cake for dessert.
To Reheat: Reheat leftovers in the microwave until warmed through. In the Refrigerator: Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Freeze: It’s also really easy to bake only half a batch of lasagna roll-ups and freeze the rest to have on hand. Just thaw the frozen roll-ups in the fridge overnight, then bake as directed.
