Equipment
Ingredients
- 28 ounces jar of marinara sauce divided
- 14 lasagna noodles
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded Italian cheese blend
- 2 large eggs
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded zucchini about 1 small zucchini (see notes below)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat the oven to 375ºF and line two baking sheets with foil and set aside. Spread half the marinara sauce over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish; set aside.
- Cook the noodles. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the directions on the package. Rinse and drain the noodles.
- Make the filling. In the meantime, combine the cream cheese, ricotta cheese, shredded cheese, eggs, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper in a large bowl; stir until well combined. Add the shredded zucchini and stir just until incorporated.
- Assemble. 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.
- Bake. Place the lasagna rolls seam-side-down in the 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.
- Finish and serve. Remove the lasagna roll ups from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- After shredding the zucchini, use a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to squeeze out as much moisture as possible. The drier it is, the better your filling will hold up.
