Love Lasagna? Hate how messy it can be? These lasagna roll-ups are fun and make plating so easy. And, who doesn’t love their own individual lasagna?!? This would be perfect for a large, family get together. Plus, this is a great recipe to get the kids in the kitchen helping you. My girls had a blast layering everything on and rolling up the lasagna noodle. These are also great to make ahead of time and freeze.
-Cook lasagna noodles according to the package instructions and allow to cool.
-Saute the ground beef until cooked through. Add the minced garlic, salt and pepper and allow to cook until the garlic becomes fragrant. Set beef aside to cool down.
-Combine ricotta, mozzarella, egg, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a bowl and set aside.
-Lay each lasagna noodle flat on the counter. I like to do at least 8 at a time.
-Once the lasagna noodle is flat, spread a layer of the ricotta cheese mixture on top.
-Sprinkle some of the ground beef on top of the ricotta layer. Have the kiddos help!!
-Start rolling from one end of the noodle to the other. Don’t roll too tightly or the mixture will fall out.
-Pour some spaghetti sauce into a pan, enough to cover the bottom.
-Place each roll-up in the pan and pour remaining sauce over the top.
-Cover the pan with foil and place in the oven.
-Bake for 1 hr and 15 min. Once cooked, sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top and place under the broiler until melted.
