Ingredients
Scale
- 16 ounces lasagna noodles cooked according to package instructions
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small yellow onion diced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 32 ounces marinara sauce
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt or 3/4 teaspoon table salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 15 ounces ricotta cheese
- 1 large egg beaten
- 3 cups mozzarella cheese shredded, divided
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese shredded
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Boil a large pot of water, adding 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside, reserving some for breaks.
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, then add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is soft, then drain excess grease.
- Stir in the marinara sauce, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Let simmer for 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
- In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, beaten egg, 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley until well mixed.
- Spread 1/2 cup of the meat sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.
- On a baking sheet, lay out the cooked noodles. Spread about 1/4 cup of cheese mixture on each noodle, followed by 1 tablespoon of meat sauce. Roll them up and place them in the baking dish. You should get about 16 roll ups. Top with remaining sauce and 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Uncover and broil briefly to brown the cheese on top.
