Easy, high-protein lasagna roll-ups made with cottage cheese instead of ricotta. Perfect for a family-friendly, make-ahead meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 lasagna noodles
  • 1 (16 ounce) container cottage cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce
  • Fresh basil, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  4. Lay the cooked lasagna noodles flat. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the cottage cheese mixture evenly over each noodle.
  5. Carefully roll up each noodle and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  6. Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the top of the roll-ups. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese.
  7. Cover the baking dish with foil. Bake for 20 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Let stand for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.

Notes

  • For a make-ahead meal, assemble the roll-ups and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. You may need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
  • These roll-ups freeze well. Cool completely, then wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat in the oven or microwave.
  • You can add cooked ground beef or turkey to the cottage cheese mixture for extra protein.
