Lasagna Roll Ups For Two
Ingredients
Rosa Sauce
- 1 Jar Bertolli® Traditional Marinara with Italian Herbs and Fresh Garlic
- 1 Jar Bertolli® Alfredo With Aged Parmesan Cheese
Filling:
- 2/3 cup Ricotta cheese
- 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese
- 2 teaspoons basil pesto
- pinch of salt and pepper
Lasagna Roll Ups:
- 6 sheets of fresh lasagna or cooked dry lasagna
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese shredded
Garnish
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh basil chopped
- 2 Tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
-
Make the filling by mixing all ingredients in a bowl.
-
Take a teaspoon and spread the filling over the lasagna sheets, you’ll need about 2 tablespoons of filling per sheet.
-
Roll the sheets, one at a time into a tube.
-
In an oven safe soup mug or any deep dish oven plate place the rose sauce at the bottom. You’ll need about 3/4 cup of sauce at the bottom. Use more or less to your taste depending on how saucy you like your lasagna.
-
Add a layer of mozzarella cheese over the sauce and don’t blend it in.
-
Now take three rolled up lasagna sheets per mug and place them over the cheese, pressing down.
-
Top the lasagna with another half a cup of rosa sauce. Cover the top with foil and place the mugs in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
-
Remove from the oven and remove the foil off.
-
To serve the lasagna roll ups, you need to invert/flip them to a plate. The best way to do that is to put the plate over the top of the mug and swiftly flip the mug upside down. Watch as the sauce drenches the lasagna :)
-
Serve the lasagna rolls sprinkled with extra parmesan cheese and fresh chopped basil.
-
Enjoy! :)
Recipe Notes
Lasagna Notes:
-Use Fresh Lasagna sheets for a shortcut, otherwise, cook the lasagna sheets ahead of time. You can cook it up to two days in advance.
-Use quality sauces such as Bertolli for quality tasting lasagna. This recipe is all about the sauce.
-If you want to make this recipe a spinach lasagna roll up, add 1/2 cup of sauteed/steamed fresh spinach to the filling.
-If you want to make this recipe for a crowd, use a deep oven safe dish and arrange the lasagna rolls as per the recipe. However if you feel flipping a large dish may be overwhelming (which it is!), then don't flip it. To do so, avoid the layer of cheese at the bottom of the dish and proceed with the recipe. Once the lasagna is ready, remove the foil, sprinkle a layer of cheese and place the lasagna back in the oven for just 10 minutes. Serve in the dish itself.
-This recipe makes a great potluck dish!
