Bake it up with melty mozzarella cheese and it’s an over-the-top crowd-pleasing dinner recipe we love to make for entertaining! This one was a big hit in our house—our kids love the roll shapes. It’s also a high protein vegetarian meal with 30 grams of protein per serving.
Use fire roasted tomatoes. Fire roasted tomatoes make the best flavor: they taste sweet and smoky right out of the can. If you can’t find them, substitute best quality tomatoes for the sauce. If using purchased marinara, add garlic and oregano. This helps to infuse homemade flavor into a purchased sauce. Alternatively, make your own homemade lasagna sauce with meat. This is a typical way to add meat to this recipe, but we prefer it as a vegetarian main dish! Whole milk mozzarella cheese makes a difference. This type of cheese melts much better than part skim mozzarella and has a richer flavor. It also melts better when reheating. You can taste the difference!
On a baking sheet, place 4 noodles flat. Spread ¼ cup cheese mixture down each noodle, then top with a bit of tomato sauce.
Spread half the tomato sauce in the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch pan. Gently roll up each noodle, then place it into the pan. Repeat for each of the noodles.
Cook the lasagna noodles and make the tomato sauce in advance. This saves about 20 minutes off in the timing of recipe. Refrigerate both until ready to fill. Leftovers store refrigerated for up to 3 days. You can make the entire dish in advance and refrigerate if you like. Leftovers tastes great after re-warming in a 375°F oven. Using whole milk mozzarella cheese is nice because it re-melts nicely when left over. Freeze leftovers in a sealed container for up to 3 months. Place on the counter or in the refrigerator to thaw. Or, you can place it right into a 375°F oven and reheat until warmed through and the cheese is melted.
