Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Large Pot
  • 13 x 9-inch baking dish
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Spoon
  • Foil

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 28 ounces diced tomatoes canned, including liquid
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 2 cups part-skim mozzarella shredded
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 10 sheets whole-grain lasagna noodles boiled according to package instructions

Instructions
 

  • Heat 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add the canned diced tomatoes with their liquid to the pan, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
  • Season the sauce with 1 1/4 teaspoons dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, then simmer for 10–15 minutes until slightly thickened.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish and pour 1 cup of the sauce into the bottom; set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the grated Parmesan, 2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella, 1/2 cup ricotta, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano; reserve 1/2 cup of this cheese mixture for the topping.
  • Spread about 1/2 cup of the cheese mixture evenly over each cooked lasagna noodle (reserve 1/2 cup total), drizzle 1 tablespoon of sauce over the cheese on each noodle, then roll each noodle tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  • Pour 1 1/2 cups of the remaining sauce over the rolls and sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup cheese mixture evenly on top.
  • Loosely cover the dish with foil and bake for 25–30 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted and the filling is hot.
  • Let the rolls rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Boil noodles until al dente per package instructions.
  • Reserve some sauce to serve extra with the rolls if desired.
  • Use whole-grain noodles as listed or substitute regular lasagna noodles.
  • Mix the cheeses thoroughly for even distribution.
