**Vegetarian Lasagna Rolls**
**Ingredients:**
– 10 lasagna noodles
– 2 cups ricotta cheese
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 egg
– 2 cups marinara sauce
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon dried basil
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
4. Lay out a cooked lasagna noodle on a clean work surface. Spread a generous amount of the cheese mixture evenly over the noodle, covering it completely.
5. Starting from one end, carefully roll up the noodle to form a tight roll. Place the roll seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
6. Repeat the filling and rolling process with the remaining lasagna noodles.
7. Pour the marinara sauce over the rolled lasagna noodles, making sure to cover them completely.
8. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top of the rolls.
9. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown.
11. Once out of the oven, let the lasagna rolls cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and added freshness.
And there you have it! A delightful and flavorful twist on classic lasagna that is sure to impress your family and friends.
