Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients: 12 lasagna noodles; 1 pound ground beef; 1 small onion, finely chopped; 3 cloves garlic, minced; 1 teaspoon dried basil; 1 teaspoon dried oregano; Salt and pepper to taste; 2 cups marinara sauce; 2 cups ricotta cheese; 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese; 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese; Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay the noodles flat on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add the chopped onion, garlic, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onions are softened.
Stir in 1 cup of marinara sauce into the beef mixture and simmer for a few minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella cheese, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Mix well until fully incorporated.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
To assemble the roll-ups, spread a layer of the cheese mixture onto each lasagna noodle. Top with a spoonful of the beef mixture and roll up the noodle tightly.
Place the roll-ups seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining noodles.
Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the top of the roll-ups and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
