Lasagna Roll Ups

Lasagna Roll-Ups are a fun, creative, and delicious twist on traditional lasagna.

A lasagna noodle is rolled around a mouth-watering cheese and meat sauce filling.

And serving Lasagna Roll-Ups is so convenient! When you take your platter from the oven, you already have delicious single-serve pieces ready to be plated.

I promise, when you serve these up, the reaction will be, “Where has this been my whole life?!” This recipe deserves a place in your collection.

And because they are made as single-serve pieces, you don’t have to worry that the whole thing will slide apart in a gooey mess on the plate.

We all need easy recipes such as our Chicken Schnitzel, Lazy Lasagna, or Chicken Parmesan in our recipe book. These are the foolproof dishes we can make and serve without much fuss.

Lasagna Roll-Ups belong there: a recipe that’s easy to make and gives you every bit of that comforting lasagna texture and flavor!

Ingredient Notes

Please check the recipe card below for a detailed, printable ingredient list.

PASTA – You’ll need lasagna noodles that you boil first. Oven-ready or no-boil noodles won’t work. I like to cook the lasagna pasta very al dente. Meaning that I undercook the pasta by 30 seconds to a minute less than the lowest recommended cooking time).

MEAT – You can use any ground meat. 80/20 will be the most flavorful but have the most highest fat content, and 96/4 is the leanest ground beef. I typically opt for 85/15 and drain the excess grease after I brown the ground beef.

SAUCE – The type of pasta sauce you choose depends on your preferences. I often choose Marinara or Roasted Garlic Tomato Sauce.

CHEESES – For this lasagna, I like a triple cheese combination of Ricotta, parmesan, and Mozzarella.

EGG – One large egg acts as a binder for the cheese mixture and adds an extra bit of protein.

PARSLEY – This is optional, but I love adding freshly chopped parsley to the cheese mixture. It adds a bit of delicious peppery sweetness. This is one of the few times that I won’t substitute fresh parsley with dried spices if I don’t have fresh parsley.

How To Make Lasagna Roll Ups

Please check the printable recipe card below for more detailed instructions.

1. Preheat the oven to 375º Fahrenheit and cook lasagna noodles.
2. Prepare the meat sauce in a skillet and mix the cheese sauce in a large bowl.
3. Lay out cooked noodles, spread cheese sauce, then meat sauce, and roll ’em up!
4. Place in a casserole dish, top with remaining meat and cheese, and bake for 20-25 minutes.

TIP: If you’re using ground beef with a higher fat content, such as 80/20 or 85/15, you don’t need to add oil to brown the meat. If you’re using 96/4, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Recipe Succes Tips

Spraying the casserole dish is a good idea so that nothing sticks.

Even though they are roll-ups, serve them with a spatula or spoon. Tongs will squeeze the cheesy goodness out of the rollup.

It’s easy to customize the filling in your roll-ups to satisfy everyone if someone likes more of your hearty meat sauce and less cheese, no problem!

Serving Suggestions

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER – Adds a nutty, crunchy element that complements the soft and cheesy roll-ups.

TOMATO SALAD OR CUCUMBER SALAD – A refreshing salad can add a crisp and cool contrast to the warm and cheesy lasagna.

HOMEMADE BREAD – Freshly baked bread is perfect for mopping up any extra sauce.

SOUP – A light, broth-based soup can start your meal off on a cozy note.

Leftovers

STORE – Place any remaining roll-ups in an airtight container to keep them fresh. Put the containers in the fridge as soon as possible to ensure they stay tasty. Aim to enjoy them within the next 3 days.

FREEZE – If you’re making these in advance or have a lot extra, freezing is a great option. For the best taste, freeze individual roll-ups before cooking them. That way, the cheese stays just the way you like it. Just make sure to wrap each one tightly and place them in a freezer-safe container. You can keep them frozen for up to 2 months.

REHEAT – In the Oven – Turn your oven on to 350º Fahrenheit. Put the roll-ups in an oven-safe dish and cover it with foil. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until they get hot.

REHEAT – In the Air Fryer – If you have an air fryer, set it to 350º Fahrenheit. Place the roll-ups inside and cook for about 8-10 minutes. Check to make sure they’re warm all the way through before you dig in.

REHEAT – In the Microwave – If you need to eat now and can’t wait, put a roll-up on a microwave-safe plate. Heat on high for about 1-2 minutes.
