Ricotta Roll Ups Recipes

Steps:

• Cook and stir ground beef, onion, garlic powder, and oregano in a large skillet over medium heat until onion is tender and beef is browned, about 10 minutes. Add tomato sauce and sugar; simmer until sauce is heated through, about 10 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
• Mix ricotta cheese, egg, parsley, and 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese together in a bowl.
• Place a lasagna noodle on a work surface. Spoon one layer of ricotta cheese mixture, one layer meat sauce, and one layer mozzarella cheese atop the lasagna noodle; top with another lasagna noodle. Roll up the stuffed lasagna noodles in the jelly-roll style; place in the prepared casserole dish. Repeat with remaining lasagna noodles, ricotta cheese mixture, meat sauce, and mozzarella cheese. Spread a spoonful of meat sauce atop each lasagna roll; top with remaining mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. For dough combine flour, egg yolks, ricotta, butter, and blend well. Shape dough into 7 balls and wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerated overnight.
• 2. Next day make filling combining walnuts, sugar, ricotta, cinnamon, and blend well.
• 3. Roll out dough pie shell thin (using lots of flour) into a rectangle.
• 4. Spread 1/7 of filling over dough, roll then brush with beaten egg whites. Bake 325 for 30-35 mins. Cool, cut slices with serrated knife. (or wrap in foil, freeze, cut as needed) Enjoy!

Steps:

• Set oven to 375 degrees.
• Squeeze-dry the thawed spinach very well, (is is very important to make sure there is NO moisture left in the spinach, as this will make the mixture soggy).
• Mix the spinach with the melted butter; set aside.
• In a bowl, mix the ricotta, grated mozza cheese, 2 eggs, flour, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper and nutmeg, mix thoroughly.
• Mix the spinach in the ricotta mixture, mix well to combine.
• Spread the mixture onto a cooked lasagna noodle; roll up.
• Repeat with the remaining noodles.
• Lay the rolled noodles into a prepared greased baking dish, seam-side down.
• Cover with a layer of marinara sauce (you do not have to cover the rolls completely with the sauce).
• Sprinkle with Parmesan chees (any amount desired).
• Bake for 30 minutes.
• *NOTE* if desired sprinkle grated Mozzeralla cheese over the rolls the last 10 minutes of baking time.

Steps:

• Brown ground beef. Drain and rinse.
• In saucepan, combine sauce ingredients and ground beef, stirring to blend well. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• While sauce is cooking, prepare lasagna rolls.
• Cream together cream cheese and butter or margarine.
• Stir in egg, ricotta cheese, parsley, salt and pepper; blend thoroughly.
• Spread 2 to 3 tablespoons of filling on each piece of lasagna.
• Starting at narrow end, lightly roll up each piece.
• Place rolls, seam side down, in greased shallow baking pan.
• Pour sauce over rolls; top with Mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
• Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 50 to 60 minutes.
• Refrigerate any leftovers.
