Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets Lasagna noodles
- 2 cups Ricotta cheese
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 cups Marinara sauce
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil and set aside.
Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay them flat on a clean surface, such as parchment paper, to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1.5 cups of shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, egg, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the cheese filling.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce (about 1 cup) evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish.
Take one lasagna noodle and spread about 2-3 tablespoons of the cheese mixture evenly across its surface. Roll the noodle carefully into a tight spiral shape.
Place the rolled-up noodle seam-side down into the prepared baking dish. Repeat the process with the remaining noodles and cheese filling, lining up the roll-ups snugly in the dish.
Once all the roll-ups are arranged in the baking dish, pour the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the top, ensuring all the roll-ups are covered.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the marinara sauce.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
Allow the mini lasagna roll-ups to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional chopped parsley, if desired.
