Equipment

  • oven-safe mugs or small deep oven-safe dishes
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Foil
  • plate (for flipping)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 jar Bertolli® Traditional Marinara with Italian Herbs and Fresh Garlic
  • 1 jar Bertolli® Alfredo with Aged Parmesan Cheese
  • 2/3 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons basil pesto
  • pinch salt
  • pinch black pepper
  • 6 sheets fresh lasagna sheets or cooked dry lasagna sheets
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a mixing bowl combine 2/3 cup ricotta, 1/3 cup Parmesan, 2 teaspoons basil pesto, a pinch each of salt and pepper, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil; stir until well mixed.
  • Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the ricotta filling onto each lasagna sheet and spread evenly, leaving a small border; then roll each sheet into a tight tube.
  • Spoon about 3/4 cup marinara sauce into the bottom of each oven-safe mug or dish, then sprinkle a layer of shredded mozzarella over the sauce.
  • Place three rolled lasagna sheets upright in each mug or dish on top of the mozzarella, pressing down gently so they stand together.
  • Top the rolls with about 1/2 cup additional marinara (or to taste) and a little Alfredo if desired; cover each mug or dish with foil.
  • Bake covered for 15–20 minutes, then remove the foil and bake a few minutes more if you want the cheese on top more melted and bubbly.
  • Carefully remove the mugs from the oven and invert each onto a plate by placing the plate over the mug and flipping it quickly so the rolls lift out with sauce on top.
  • Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan and additional chopped basil before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh lasagna sheets for a shortcut, otherwise cook dry sheets ahead of time.
  • You can cook the sheets up to two days in advance.
  • Use quality sauces such as Bertolli for best flavor.
  • To make spinach roll ups, add 1/2 cup sautéed or steamed spinach to the filling.
  • For a crowd, arrange rolls in a deep oven-safe dish and optionally skip flipping; finish under the broiler with cheese for 10 minutes.
  • This recipe works well for potlucks.
