1 (28 ounce) jar of favorite marinara sauce

Tips:

  • Use high-quality Italian sausage: This will give your lasagna rolls the best flavor. Look for sausage that is made with fresh, ground pork and has a good amount of seasoning.
  • Don't overcook the sausage: Overcooked sausage will be dry and tough. Cook it just until it is browned all the way through.
  • Use a good quality lasagna noodle: This will make your lasagna rolls sturdy and easy to roll up. Look for lasagna noodles that are made with durum wheat and have a slightly rough texture.
  • Don't boil the lasagna noodles: Boiling the lasagna noodles will make them too soft and mushy. Instead, cook them according to the package directions, which is usually just a few minutes in boiling water.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: This will give your lasagna rolls a rich and complex flavor. Try using a combination of ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese.
  • Don't skimp on the sauce: The sauce is what really brings the lasagna rolls together. Use a good quality tomato sauce or make your own from scratch. If you do use a jarred sauce, be sure to doctor it up with some fresh herbs, garlic, and onion.
  • Bake the lasagna rolls until they are golden brown: This will help to ensure that they are cooked through and that the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Italian sausage lasagna rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
