Ingredients
Cheese: The secret to deliciously rich and creamy lasagna roll-ups is the combo of ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan. Swap the ricotta for small curd cottage cheese for a more economical dish (great for potlucks).
Noodles: Cook lasagna noodles to al dente or purchase par-cooked noodles.
Sauce: Cream and spaghetti sauce make a thick and tasty sauce! Boost the savory flavor by stirring in some Italian seasonings in Step 1. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick!
Variations: This is a great recipe for using up leftovers from the fridge! Mix in chopped veggies like spinach, kale, shredded zucchini, or crumbled ground beef, sausage, or shredded chicken.
How to Make Lasagna Rolls

Lasagna Roll-Up Tips
- Save time by using par-cooked noodles and pre-shredded cheese!
- Be sure to place the roll-ups seam side down so they stay together during baking.
- Once baked, let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Store ’em Right for a Cheesy Delight Tomorrow Night
- Keep leftover lasagna roll-ups in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat portions in the microwave.
