Pesto Lasagna Roll Ups Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Mix egg, ricotta, Parmesan, 1 cup shredded cheese and 1/4 cup pesto until blended.
• Pour 3/4 cup pasta sauce into 13x9-inch pan sprayed with cooking spray.
• Spread about 1/4 cup cheese mixture onto each lasagna noodle. Roll up, starting at one short end of each noodle.
• Place, seam sides down, in prepared baking dish. Top with remaining pasta sauce; sprinkle with remaining shredded cheese.
• Bake 30 to 35 min. or until heated through. Top with remaining pesto sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the noodles according to the package directions for al dente. Drain and arrange in a layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the ricotta cheese with 1/2 cup of the pesto. Divide the ricotta mixture evenly among the noodles, spreading it the length of each noodle. Divide 1 cup of the marinara sauce evenly among the 8 noodles, spreading it on top of the ricotta mixture.
• Add 1 1/2 cups of the remaining marinara sauce to the bottom of a 13-by-9-inch baking dish.
• Roll up the lasagna noodles, then arrange them seam-side down in the baking dish. Top them with the remaining 1 cup marinara sauce and 1/4 cup pesto. Cover the baking dish securely with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
• Remove the foil, top the roll-ups with the mozzarella cheese and continue baking, uncovered, until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven, top the lasagna roll-ups with the grated Parmesan cheese and serve.

Steps:

• Mound the flour and salt together on a work surface and form a well. Beat the teaspoon of olive oil, 2 eggs, and water in a bowl. Pour half the egg mixture into the well. Begin mixing the egg with the flour with one hand; use your other hand to keep the flour mound steady. Add the remaining egg mixture and knead to form a dough.
• Knead the dough until smooth, 8 to 10 minutes; add more flour if the dough is too sticky.
• Alternatively, those who are fortunate enough to own a Kitchenaid mixer, beat the olive oil, 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons of the water, and salt in the bowl of the mixer. Add 1 cup of the flour, and using the paddle attachment, mix at a speed of 2 or 3, and add the remaining flour to the egg mixture, a little at a time.
• When the mixture looks like its all crumbly, turn the machine off, then put in the dough hook attachment. Knead the dough on speed 2, and add enough of the remaining water, until it forms a smooth ball, for 3-5 minutes. (you may need to use more or less water, depending on the consistency of the dough) Dough should not be sticky. If it is, add a little flour.
• Form the dough into a ball and wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• While the dough is resting, prepare the cheese filling. Combine the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, provolone cheese, egg, garlic, white pepper and parsley and mix well. Set the filling aside.
• Assembly:.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Roll out the pasta dough into thin sheets no thicker than a nickel. (On the kitchenaid roller, it's size 4).
• Cut the pasta into sheets 13" long, and about 5" wide (as wide as the pasta comes out of the pasta roller).
• Gently place the pasta into the boiling water, and cook until just firm, about 3-4 minutes. Fresh pasta takes less time to cook, it will float to the surface when cooked. Stir once while it's cooking.
• Strain and rinse to cool the pasta.
• Divide the cheese mixture evenly according to the number of sheets of pasta, about 1/3 cup.
• Working with one sheet at a time, lay the sheet of pasta with the longest side facing you, spread one portion of the cheese mixture over the pasta, leaving a 1-2 inch space at the far end, for rolling. Roll up the pasta and cheese, lengthwise, so that the roll will be about 13" long.
• Place 1 cup of the marinara sauce, and 1/2 cup of water in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
• Place the completed pasta rolls seam side down, on top of the marinara sauce, in one layer. (unused sauce can be used when serving the pasta rolls).
• Top with enough sauce to cover the rolls. Bake, covered, at 350 for 45 - 60 minutes.
• Pesto Alfredo Cream Sauce:.
• Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
• Add the crushed garlic and pesto sauce and cook for one minute. Pour in the heavy cream, raise the heat to med-high, and bring the sauce just barely to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until the cheese melts. Remove the pan from the heat and keep warm.
• Cut the rolls into serving sized pieces.
• Place 1 or 2 rolls on a plate, drizzle with the Pesto Alfredo Cream sauce. Garnish with some fresh chopped herbs if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through, about 8 minutes. Drain and pat noodles dry with paper towels.
• Brown ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking the meat into crumbles as it cooks, about 10 minutes. Pour pasta sauce into beef mixture and stir garlic powder, basil, parsley, chives, oregano, and nutmeg into beef and sauce.
• Spread half of the beef sauce into a 2-quart casserole dish and sprinkle with 1 cup Cheddar cheese.
• Lay a lasagna noodle out onto a lightly floured work surface and spread with 2 tablespoons cream cheese. Spread 2 tablespoons ground beef sauce onto noodle; roll noodle and place with seam side down atop cheese in casserole dish. Repeat with remaining noodles. Sprinkle remaining beef sauce and 1 cup Cheddar cheese over noodle rolls.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese and sauce bubble, 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
