Delicious Pesto Lasagna Rolls Recipe








If you're looking for a creative twist on traditional lasagna, these Pesto Lasagna Rolls are a must-try! They're filled with creamy ricotta cheese, savory pesto, and topped with a flavorful marinara sauce. This recipe is perfect for a special dinner or a weekend family meal. Let's dive into the details:

Ingredients:

  • 12 lasagna noodles
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup pesto (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

  2. Cook Lasagna Noodles:

    • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay them flat on a clean surface to prevent sticking.

  3. Prepare Filling:

    • In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, pesto, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and well combined.

  4. Assemble Lasagna Rolls:

    • Take a cooked lasagna noodle and spread a generous amount (about 2 tablespoons) of the ricotta-pesto mixture evenly along the entire length of the noodle.

  5. Roll the Noodles:

    • Carefully roll up the noodle from one end to the other, enclosing the filling inside. Place the rolled noodle seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining noodles and filling.

  6. Top with Marinara Sauce:

    • Pour the marinara sauce over the assembled lasagna rolls, spreading it evenly to cover all the noodles.

  7. Add Cheese Topping:

    • Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the marinara sauce.

  8. Bake:

    • Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

  9. Serve:

    • Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired, before serving.

Tips:

  • You can prepare the lasagna rolls ahead of time and refrigerate them until ready to bake. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from chilled.
  • Feel free to customize the filling by adding cooked and crumbled Italian sausage or sautéed spinach for extra flavor and texture.
  • Serve these Pesto Lasagna Rolls with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete and satisfying meal.

These Pesto Lasagna Rolls are sure to impress your family and friends with their delightful flavors and elegant presentation. They're a great way to elevate your dinner routine and enjoy a delicious homemade Italian meal. Give this recipe a try and let me know how you like it! Enjoy! 🍝🌿
