Ingredients
- 2 cups tomato marinara sauce
- 8 uncooked lasagna noodles
- 16 ounces cottage cheese (2% fat)
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons pesto sauce
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- Ground black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (part skim)
Step 1: Preheat and Prepares
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ladle about 1 cup of marinara sauce onto the bottom of a 9” x 12” oval baking dish, spreading it evenly to form the base for the lasagna rolls.
Step 2: Cook the Lasagna Noodles
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the lasagna noodles and cook them according to the package directions until they are al dente.
Drain the noodles and set them aside.
To prevent sticking, you can lay them out on a piece of wax paper or drizzle a bit of olive oil over them.
Step 3: Prepare the Cheese Filling
In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, pesto, an egg, salt, and black pepper.
Mix these ingredients well until a creamy, well-blended texture is achieved.
Step 4: Assemble the Lasagna Rolls
Place a piece of wax paper on the counter and lay out the cooked lasagna noodles, ensuring they are dry.
Spread about 1/3 cup of the cheese mixture evenly over each noodle.
Carefully roll up each noodle and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Repeat this process with the remaining noodles and cheese mixture.
Step 5: Top and Bake
Ladle the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the rolled noodles.
Top each roll with 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Cover the baking dish with foil, ensuring the foil doesn’t touch the cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 6: Serve
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Serve the lasagna rolls hot, garnished with additional parsley or Parmesan if desired.
Enjoy your delicious homemade lasagna rolls!
