Ingredients

• 12 lasagna noodles, cooked.
• 1 lb ground beef or Italian sausage.
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs.
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
• 1 egg, beaten.
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning.
• 2 cups marinara sauce.
• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese.
• 1/2 cup ricotta cheese.
• 2 cloves garlic, minced.
• 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a bowl, mix ground beef or Italian sausage, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to form the meatball mixture.
Shape the mixture into small meatballs.
In a skillet, heat olive oil and cook the meatballs until browned and cooked through. Set them aside.
Lay the cooked lasagna noodles flat on a clean surface. Spread a small amount of ricotta cheese on each noodle, place 2-3 meatballs on top, and roll up the noodles.
Pour 1 cup of marinara sauce into a greased baking dish and arrange the lasagna roll-ups seam-side down.
Top the roll-ups with the remaining marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Let the roll-ups cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes
For a vegetarian version, substitute the meatballs with a mixture of sautéed vegetables and cheese.
You can also use store-bought meatballs to save time.
