Lasagna Roll Ups Recipe

Updated on June 24th, 2022


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.

  1. This has been added to my menu plan this week. One thing I do differently is to put the cottage cheese in my little blender to get the chunks out. My family thinks it’s the more costly ricotta…

  2. A lovely and good-looking recipe. Thank you! I haven’t seen lasagna pasta with frilly edges here in South Africa, but I guess your recipe will work just as well with ordinary lasagna sheets of pasta. I will give it a try…

  3. Wow, those look awesome, and so much less work than an actual lasagna. Your food always looks so good! These are going on the list.

  4. It must have been the pictures, but I made these the second I saw them yesterday. I had to run to the store to get a few ingredients, but I live close by, so it was easy. Until I realised I bought sour cream, instead of cottage cheese. *Grumbles* Back to the store again.

    But even with my own complications, this turned out yummy, and super easy! I added spinach to the cottage cheese mix, because, well.. I love spinach. And I suspect these would make up vegetarian really well!

    Thanks for posting! Sooo good!

  5. Thanks Oza,

    for the excellent recipe. Long time, I did one like this. As I was telling you, you always inspire me.

    p.s.: I will add ground beef vege instead of…

  6. I made these the other night and I had absolutely none left when dinner was over. Thank you for the great recipe.

  7. This is a fantastic idea, as a single person it will be so easy to freeze separately for the week.
    Thanks for the tip. Great pics.

  8. The Lasagna Roll-ups were delicious and easy to make. The small amount of cayenne was a wonderful addition. I used a little more than a half pound of ground beef because that is what I had frozen and a 14.5 oz. can of diced tomatoes because that is what I had on hand. That kind of messed the sauce up because it wasn’t as saucy, so to remedy that, I added a small can of tomato paste and 2 tsp. of sugar. I really liked this recipe because it was just the right size instead of a big pan of lasagna. Your presentation photo makes this recipe irresistible! Thanks for sharing this recipe.

  9. I made this recipe when I had company and it was a big hit. So delicious. I also had a few left over of which I put in the freezer for another time. They were great. Thanks

  10. Wow! So many comments! But I understand why because I made these last night and they were absolutely wonderful! I doubled the recipe so I could have some for lunch the next day and they actually microwaved really well. All my co-workers were very jealous and commented about how good they smelled. Of course I didn’t share though =P

  11. I will make these tomorrow, my last child left home in Jan. and I can’t learn to cook for one yet. These will be great because I can freeze them singly and make many meals. Thank you.

  12. I was looking for a recipe for Lasagne Roll-Ups that did not have spinach in it since I am not a big fan of spinach. Thank you for the great recipe!

  13. This was WONDERFUL!!! My family Loved it!!!! 🙂 Thank you! We were looking for something to break up the everyday things we cook 🙂

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

  15. 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.

  16. 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!
