Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups homemade or jarred marinara sauce, plus more for serving
  • 8 uncooked lasagna noodles, wheat or gluten-free
  • 16 ounces 2% cottage cheese, I like Good Culture, drained
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 2 tablespoons pesto, prepared or homemade
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup part skim mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 3 oz)
  • basil or parsley, optional for garnish

Method
 

  1. Set your oven to heat at 350°F.
  2. Spread about 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly across the base of a 9 x 12 inch or similar baking dish.
  3. While the oven warms, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions, then drain well.
  4. In a mixing bowl, blend together the cottage cheese, Parmesan, parsley, pesto, egg, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper until combined.
  5. Lay a sheet of wax paper on your work surface and arrange the cooked noodles out to dry.
  6. Pat noodles dry, then spread roughly 1/3 cup of the cheese mixture evenly over each noodle, roll them up carefully, and place each seam side down in the baking dish.
  7. Once all noodles are rolled and placed in the dish, pour the remaining marinara sauce over them and sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of mozzarella cheese on top of each roll.
  8. Cover the dish loosely with foil, taking care it doesn’t touch the cheese, then bake for 40 minutes until the cheese has melted and the rolls are heated through.
  9. Remove from oven and garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired.
  10. Enjoy your nutritious and comforting lasagna roll ups! Please consider leaving a rating and comment to support our recipe sharing.

Notes

  • For best results, drain the cottage cheese well before mixing to prevent watery filling. You can prepare the roll ups ahead of time and keep them refrigerated before baking. Serve with extra marinara sauce if desired.
