A thick and hearty lasagna roll-ups recipe filled with ricotta, Parmesan, and a beefy tomato sauce. A fun spin on a family favorite!

Ingredients:
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • ¼ white onion, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 (26 ounce) jar chunky tomato sauce (such as ragu®)
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 18 lasagna noodles
  • cooking spray
  • 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1 (12 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese, or as needed
Directions:
  1. Cook and stir ground beef, onion, garlic powder, and oregano in a large skillet over medium heat until onion is tender and beef is browned, about 10 minutes.
  2. Add tomato sauce and sugar; simmer until sauce is heated through, about 10 minutes.
  3. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain.
  4. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
  5. Mix ricotta cheese, egg, parsley, and 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese together in a bowl.
  6. Place a lasagna noodle on a work surface. Spoon one layer ricotta cheese mixture, one layer meat sauce, and one layer mozzarella cheese atop lasagna noodle; top with another lasagna noodle. Roll up the stuffed lasagna noodles in the jelly-roll style; place in the prepared casserole dish. Repeat with remaining lasagna noodles, ricotta cheese mixture, meat sauce, and mozzarella cheese.
  7. Spread a spoonful of meat sauce atop each lasagna roll; top with remaining mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes.
