Lasagna Roll Ups Recipe


Unfortunately, I have yet to post a lasagna recipe but I have something just as good- Lasagna Roll-ups. Lasagna roll ups are cooked lasagna noodles rolled up with a cheese mixture and baked in a sauce. If you are not a fan of cottage cheese it could be replaced with ricotta. This dish uses three different types of cheeses- cottage, parmesan, and mozzarella. Don’t worry if you want meat in your meals, the sauce is a meat sauce. The meat sauce is very delicious and slightly spicy. It gets the heat from a little bit of cayenne pepper, you can adjust the amount of cayenne to your taste. This is a fantastic dish to bring to a party or even to have as a meal. Serve with garlic bread. Enjoy.

These were absolutely delicious. I was pushed for time so I used the jar sauce (still added the meat). It was so, so simple and the presentation was beautiful. Definitely a keeper of a recipe!

cindy lou- The egg helps to bind everything together but you may be able to leave it out. If you try it without the egg, please let everyone know how it turns out.

These look delicious, I always add cream cheese to the cottage cheese when I make lasagna, add good flavor to the cottage cheese.
