**Lasagna Roll Ups Recipe Modern Meal Makeover**
**Ingredients:**
– 12 lasagna noodles
– 1 pound ground beef
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried basil
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 cups marinara sauce
– 2 cups ricotta cheese
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay the noodles flat on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking.
3. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add the chopped onion, garlic, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onions are softened.
4. Stir in 1 cup of marinara sauce into the beef mixture and simmer for a few minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella cheese, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Mix well until fully incorporated.
6. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
7. To assemble the roll-ups, spread a layer of the cheese mixture onto each lasagna noodle. Top with a spoonful of the beef mixture and roll up the noodle tightly.
8. Place the roll-ups seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining noodles.
9. Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the top of the roll-ups and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
10. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
11. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown.
12. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
