Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Noodles

4. Add Sauce & Cheese

  • Pour 1 cup of sauce on the bottom of the dish.
  • Arrange the lasagna roll ups on top.
  • Spoon remaining sauce over rolls and sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan.

5. Bake

  • Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes.
  • Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.

6. Garnish & Serve

  • Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Garnish with fresh basil and enjoy with garlic bread or salad.

Tips for the Best Lasagna Roll Ups

  • Use no-boil lasagna noodles to save time.
