Step-by-Step Instructions for Three Cheese Sausage Lasagna Roll-Ups

1. Prepare the Filling

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula. Transfer the cooked sausage to a plate and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, sauté the onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, egg, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Fold the cooked sausage, onion, and garlic mixture into the cheese filling until fully incorporated.

2. Cook the Lasagna Noodles

  1. Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Avoid overcooking, as the noodles will bake further in the oven.
  2. Drain the noodles and lay them flat on a sheet of parchment paper to prevent sticking.

3. Assemble the Roll-Ups

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Spread ½ cup of marinara sauce evenly across the bottom of the baking dish.
  3. Lay one cooked lasagna noodle flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the cheese and sausage filling along the noodle, leaving a small border at the edges.
  4. Roll the noodle tightly from one end to the other, creating a compact roll.
  5. Place the roll-up seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining noodles and filling.

4. Add the Sauce and Cheese

  1. Once all roll-ups are arranged in the dish, pour the remaining marinara sauce over them, ensuring each roll-up is evenly coated.
  2. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top for a golden, bubbly finish.
