Lasagna Roll Ups

Lasagna roll ups are a simplified take on traditional lasagna. Instead of layering, tender lasagna noodles are filled with ricotta cheese, beef marinara, and rolled into single-serve portions. Baked with mozzarella and parmesan on top, they’re saucy, comforting, and easy to serve.
