Ingredients

  • 12 Sheets of Lasagna
  • 1 Pound Italian Sausage
  • 1/2 Cup Diced Onion
  • 3-4 Cloves of Garlic -diced
  • 2 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 4 Cups of Marinara Sauce
  • 15 oz Ricotta Cheese
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1/2 Cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 Cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Instructions

  • First preheat the oven to 350
  • Next cook the lasagna noodles in salted water according to package directions to al dente. Drain noodles and place in a large bowl of cold water, this keeps the pasta noodles from sticking together.
  • Cook Italian sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring and crumbling as it cooks. Drain the sausage if there is a lot of grease.
  • Add in diced onions. Cook over medium heat until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add in sauce, stir and bring to a simmer. Allow to simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes.
  • While the meat mixture is simmering we're going to make the cheese mixture.
  • In a large bowl combine ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, and shredded Parmesan cheese. Add in Italian seasoning, diced garlic, and large egg. Stir until well combined.
  • Using a 13x9 inch baking pan or casserole dish spread about 1/2 cup of the meat sauce across the bottom of the baking dish.
  • Place the cooked lasagna noodles on a chopping block or baking sheet. Lightly pat the noodle dry with paper towels. Work in batches if necessary.
  • Spread about 2 tablespoons of the ricotta filling across the smooth center of the noodles leaving about 1/2 an inch at the top and bottom.
  • Spread about 2 tablespoons of the meat sauce across the cheese mixture.
  • Starting with the short end of the noodle roll it up. Place seam side down in your prepared pan.
  • Repeat until all of the noodles have been filled and rolled up.
  • The spread the remaining sauce across the tops of the lasagna rolls.
  • Next sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella evenly across the lasagna rollups and sauce.
  • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Uncover and continue baking for 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbling.
  • Serve warm.
  • Store any leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container.
