Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 lasagna noodles
  • 1 lb Italian sausage casings removed
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese plus 1 cup extra for topping
  • 1¼ cups parmesan cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 jar pasta sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes optional

Method
 

  1. Cook the noodles - Boil lasagna noodles until al dente. Lay flat on clean kitchen towels.
  2. Make the meat - Brown sausage in a large pan, breaking it into small pieces. Add onion and cook until soft. Add garlic and cook 1 more minute. Season with red pepper flakes if using.
  3. Mix the cheese - Combine ricotta, 2 cups mozzarella, parmesan, eggs, and parsley in a large bowl. Season well with salt and pepper.
  4. Assemble - Spread cheese mixture on each noodle, add sausage mixture. Roll up from one end.
  5. Bake - Put a little sauce in bottom of 9x13 pan. Place rolls seam-side down. Cover with remaining sauce and extra mozzarella. Cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.
  6. Finish - Remove foil and broil 2-3 minutes until cheese is brown and bubbly.

Notes

  • Don't overfill or they'll burst
  • Cook noodles al dente so they don't tear
  • Place seam-side down so they stay rolled
  • Can be assembled ahead and refrigerated
  • Freeze great for up to 3 months
  • Leftovers keep in fridge for 3 days and reheat perfectly.
