Time 1h40m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

20 lasagna noodles
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 cup finely chopped mushrooms (about 3 ounces)
1 green bell pepper, diced (about 1 cup)
3 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
2 pounds ground beef
Freshly ground pepper
1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
1 6-ounce can tomato paste
4 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
4 tablespoons minced fresh basil
1 30-ounce container whole-milk ricotta cheese (about 3 1/3 cups)
1 pound mozzarella, grated (about 3 1/2 cups)
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • Cook the lasagna noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain, rinse with cold water to cool and lay flat on a sheet of foil. Set aside.
  • Make the sauce: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, mushrooms, green pepper and garlic and saute 4 to 5 minutes, until the vegetables are starting to soften. Remove the veggie mixture from the pan, then add the ground beef to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until it's totally browned. Drain the excess fat, then add 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper, the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, the veggie mixture and 1 tablespoon each parsley and basil and stir to combine. Let the mixture simmer over low heat, 30 minutes.
  • Make the filling: Combine the ricotta, 1/2 cup mozzarella, 3/4 cup parmesan, the eggs, 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and the remaining 3 tablespoons each parsley and basil. Stir to combine.
  • Assemble the lasagna: Spoon a thin layer of sauce onto the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch pan or five 6-inch disposable foil loaf pans. Spread 2 to 3 tablespoons ricotta filling on each lasagna noodle, then roll them up so that the cheese is on the inside of the roll. Lay them sideways in the pan(s). (Four roll-ups will fit in each loaf pan, or you can fill a 9-by-13-inch pan.) Top with the remaining sauce and plenty of grated mozzarella and parmesan.
  • If you're making the roll-ups right away, place the pan(s) on a baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes, until hot and bubbly.

BAKED LASAGNA ROLL-UPS



Baked Lasagna Roll-Ups image

By simply rolling up lasagna noodles and cheese and standing the pasta roll-ups on their sides, you can transform a traditional pasta dish into a work of art.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Kosher salt
17 lasagna noodles
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
One 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
1 pound whole milk ricotta (about 2 cups)
One 8-ounce block part-skim mozzarella
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, plus more whole leaves for serving
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • Bring a large saucepan of generously salted water to a boil. Add half the noodles, dropping each in separately, and cook, stirring gently, until pliable but still firm, about 4 minutes. Lift the noodles out of the water with a slotted spoon then lay them on a sheet of foil in a single layer, not touching. Lightly drizzle the noodles with 1 tablespoon olive oil then rub them all over to coat well. Repeat with the remaining noodles and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until completely soft and starting to caramelize, about 20 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and garlic and cook, stirring until lightly caramelized, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, bay leaf and 1 cup water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Discard the bay leaf. Carefully puree the sauce in a blender until smooth and return it to the pot. Stir in the parsley and season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Shred half of the mozzarella on the large holes of a box grater. Add it to a large bowl, along with the ricotta, Parmesan, basil, eggs, 1 teaspoon salt and the 1/2 teaspoon pepper and stir to combine. Divide the ricotta mixture among the noodles, putting 2 to 3 tablespoons in each, and spread into an even layer. Reserve the remaining piece of mozzarella.
  • Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and spread 1/2 cup of the sauce over the bottom. Cut each lasagna noodle in half lengthwise then roll each noodle strip into a pinwheel. Rotate the pinwheels so the frilly ends are on top, then transfer them to the prepared pan in a snug, even layer. Pour the remaining sauce over the noodles, using the back of a spoon to spread it evenly over the top and into any gaps.
  • Cover the pan with foil and bake until the noodles are tender and the lasagna is warmed through and bubbling, about 30 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven. Tear the remaining mozzarella into pieces and scatter them over the noodles. Return the lasagna to the oven until the mozzarella is just melted, 5 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before unmolding. Carefully remove the sides of the pan, top with basil leaves and serve immediately.

LASAGNA ROLLS



Lasagna Rolls image

Giada De Laurentiis' Lasagna Rolls, from Everyday Italian on Food Network, are an elegant twist on the Italian classic.

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Pinch ground nutmeg
1 (15-ounce) container whole milk ricotta cheese
1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, squeezed dry
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, chopped
1 large egg, beaten to blend
3/4 teaspoon salt, plus more for salting water
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
12 uncooked lasagna noodles
2 cups marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella (about 4 ounces)

Steps:

  • To make the sauce: Melt the butter in a heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the flour and whisk for 3 minutes. Whisk in the milk. Increase the heat to medium-high. Whisk the sauce until it comes to a simmer and is thick and smooth, about 3 minutes. Whisk the salt, pepper, and nutmeg into the bechamel sauce.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Whisk the ricotta, spinach, 1 cup Parmesan, prosciutto, egg, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl to blend.
  • Add a tablespoon or 2 of oil to a large pot of boiling salted water. Boil the noodles until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain. Arrange the noodles in a single layer on a baking sheet to prevent them from sticking.
  • Butter a 13-by-9-by-2-inch glass baking dish. Pour the bechamel sauce over the bottom of the prepared dish. Lay out 4 lasagna noodles on a work surface, then spread a large spoonful (about 3 tablespoons worth) of ricotta mixture evenly over each noodle. Starting at 1 end, roll each noodle like a jelly roll. Lay the lasagna rolls seam side down, without touching, atop the bechamel sauce in the dish. Repeat with the remaining noodles and ricotta mixture. Spoon 1 cup of marinara sauce over the lasagna rolls. Sprinkle the mozzarella and remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan over the lasagna rolls. Cover tightly with foil. Bake until heated through and the sauce bubbles, about 20 minutes. Uncover and bake until the cheese on top becomes golden, about 15 minutes longer. Let stand for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the remaining marinara sauce in a heavy small saucepan over medium heat until hot, and serve alongside.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and cheese will give your lasagna roll-ups the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: The pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will prevent it from becoming mushy when you roll it up.
  • Use a good quality ricotta cheese: Ricotta cheese is the main ingredient in the filling, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. Look for a cheese that is smooth and creamy, with no lumps.
  • Season the filling well: The filling should be well-seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as oregano, basil, or thyme.
  • Roll the lasagna roll-ups tightly: This will help to keep the filling from falling out when you bake them.
  • Bake the lasagna roll-ups until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through and the cheese is melted.

Conclusion:

Lasagna roll-ups are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They can be made ahead of time and reheated, making them a great option for busy weeknights. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a lasagna roll-up recipe that everyone will love.
