Lasagna Roll-Ups

I found this recipe in my "Mr. Food" Cookbook. My family enjoyed it, just a different take on Lasagna Preheat oven to 375ºF.  In a large pot of boiling water, cook lasagna until just barely tender. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix all the filling ingredients together. pour half the spaghetti sauce over the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish coated with a nonstick vegetable spray. Drain the lasagna, rinse, and pat dry. Lay the strips out flat and spread the filling evenly over each strip. Roll the strips up and arrange them in a backing dish seam side down. Pour remaining sauce over, and top with the mozzarella cheese. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until bubble and golden brown. Let set for about 12 to 15 minutes before serving. NOTE: a one pound box of lasagna contains about 20 strips. Serving Size: 6

Lasagna Roll-Ups 3

6 Lasagna noodles
1/2 pound of chopped meat; cooked 
1 1/2 cups of Ricotta cheese
1 cup of Mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup of parmesan cheese
1 Jar of spaghetti sauce

Brown the meat, drain and cool. While noodles are cooking, mix the chopped meat, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese together. Lay noodles out flat and spread some of the cheese mixture over the length of it - be generous! Roll up noodle, place seam side down in pan and continue with rest of noodles. Lastly, pour the jar of sauce over all and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake for 30 minutes in a 350ºF.  preheated oven. NOTES : This may not be a "casserole" per se, but you can make it ahead (even a big batch and freeze portions as it is easily doubled, tripled, etc.) and just pop it in the oven when you get home. I add a bit extra cooking time when coming from fridge to oven, 10 minutes or so depending on your oven. My family loves this and it is so easy. You can even change the filling around a bit to add spinach or other favorites.
