Change up your lasagna routine. Not only does this twist on traditional lasagna turn them into pasta roll-ups, it can also be made ahead of time and frozen.

ready in:
  1-2 hrs

ingredients

8 lasagna noodles
3/4 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 cups chunky spaghetti sauce
1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese, reserved for topping

directions

Cook the pasta in boiling water as directed on the package. Drain well, rinse in cold water and set aside.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, onion, and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until the meat is browned. Drain off any excess grease.

Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the ricotta, Mozzarella, Parmesan, and parsley.

Place the cooked lasagna noodles on a flat work surface. Spread about 1/3 cup over each noodle. Roll the noodles up jelly-roll style and place seam-side down in a 12x8 baking dish.

Pour the spaghetti sauce evenly over the lasagna rolls. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap then wrap the baking dish tightly with foil and freeze.

When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Remove the plastic wrap from the baking dish but replace the foil. Bake the frozen lasagna rolls at 375 degrees F for 1 1/4 hours or until heated through. Remove the foil and top the lasagna rolls with the reserved mozzarella. Bake for 3-4 more minutes or until the cheese is melted.

Serve hot.
