Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Spread half the marinara sauce over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish; set aside.
  • Line two baking sheets with foil and set aside.
  • Cook the lasagna noodles according to the directions on the package. Rinse and drain the noodles.
  • In the meantime, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, ricotta cheese, shredded cheese, eggs, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper; stir until well combined. Add the shredded zucchini and stir just until incorporated.
  • Arrange the lasagna noodles, one next to another, onto the foil-lined baking sheets.
  • Spoon the cheese mixture down the center over each lasagna noodle, distributing evenly, and then roll them up tightly.
  • Place the lasagna lolls seam-side-down in the prepared baking dish with the tomato sauce.
  • Top the rolls with the remaining marinara sauce and sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the roll-ups.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until heated through.
  • Remove from oven and let cool 10 minutes, then serve.

Notes

  • Cheese: Grate your own cheese from the block for enhanced freshness and flavors.
  • Make More Noodles: Cook a few more lasagna noodles than needed to account for any that break.
  • Preventing Stickiness: Put the lasagna sheets in cold water to avoid them sticking together as you prepare the rolls. Make sure to wipe them down afterward.
  • Meat Sauce Option: Enhance the tomato sauce with cooked ground meat or switch the marinara with a meaty ragu for a richer flavor.
  • Veggie Boost: Add in extras like sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or eggplant to the filling.
  • Herbs: Swap out parsley with other fresh herbs like basil or thyme to vary the flavor profile.
  • Lighter Version: Consider zucchini lasagna roll-ups as a fresh and lighter alternative, replacing noodles with zucchini slices.
