Best Tomato Basil Lasagna Rolls Recipes

LASAGNA ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-low heat. Sauté onion and garlic until onions are translucent, about 3 minutes.
• Add tomato paste and stir well. Add crushed tomatoes, oregano, and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes covered with the lid left slightly open. Season tomato sauce with salt and pepper, plus more to taste as needed. Meanwhile, make the lasagna rolls.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 13" x 9" baking dish.
• Cook lasagna noodles in salted boiling water according to the package directions. Cook a few extra noodles in case they break. Drain noodles and quickly lay out on a clean towel to dry and cool down.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add spinach, kale, and zucchini. Saute until vegetables are wilted, about 3 minutes.
• Combine vegetable mixture with 1 ½ cups ricotta, ⅓ cup parmesan, ⅔ cup mozzarella, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Taste filling and add more seasoning as needed.
• Spread 3-4 tablespoons of filling over the length of each noodle (8 total). Leave about ½-inch of space at the end of the noodle so the cheese does not come out at the end as you roll. Roll the noodles from bottom to top, but not too tight.
• Place in the greased baking dish side by side. Pour about 1 cup tomato sauce evenly over the rolls and sprinkle the remaining ⅓ cup mozzarella over the top.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until heated through and sauce is bubbling.
• Combine the diced tomato and basil together in a small bowl. Serve lasagna rolls topped with the tomato basil topping and garnish with chopped parsley.

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.

• 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.
