These cheese-filled lasagna rolls are quicker to prepare, easier to serve, and just as delicious as traditional layered lasagna.

Nothing beats an easy dinner casserole on a busy weekday, or any day I suppose. It’s so nice to just cozy up to a warm dinner after a long day, and it’s even better to dive into a dish that’s loaded with melted, gooey cheese!

This dish has everything you’d find in traditional baked lasagna but quicker to prepare, easier to serve, and of course tastes equally as good. With this version I made a simple homemade marinara sauce and three-cheese filling, then assembled the noodles into rolls instead of layers.

Easy + delicious – this is weeknight comfort food done right!

1 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion diced
2 cloves garlic minced

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375F.
In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium high heat and cook onions until softened. Add garlic and cook for one minute. Stir in crushed tomatoes, basil, and oregano. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta, 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese, Parmesan, egg, salt, and pepper.
Spread a heaping spoonful of cheese filling on a piece of cooked lasagna noodle then roll it up. Repeat with the rest of the noodles.
Spread one cup of marinara sauce onto the bottom of a 13” x 9” baking dish, and arrange lasagna rolls seam side down over the sauce. Top with remaining sauce and remaining shredded mozzarella.
Bake for 45 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve with fresh basil and Parmesan if desired.
