Directions

Pre-heat oven to 350° degrees.

Step2

To make filling; in a medium bowl combine 1⁄2 cup mozzarella, parsley, and ricotta cheese and mix thoroughly. Set aside.

Step3

Lay par-boiled lasagna and on a clean surface. Spread 3 Tbsp. of the ricotta cheese mixture on each lasagna sheet, stopping just before the end of one side. Place a Buona Vita Meatball on the close end and tightly roll each sheet.

Step4

In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom. Place each lasagna roll in the dish, and top with remaining pasta sauce. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella, cover with tin-foil, and bake 15 minutes. Remove tin foil and bake an additional 5-7 minutes until cheese is slightly golden.

Secure each lasagna roll with a tooth pick and serve.

Cook's Tip

Lasagna filling is a great way to experiment with fillings. Try goat cheese for a stronger flavor, or use heavy cream for a richer texture. Add more herbs for an aromatic filling, or kick it up with spicy chili’s or peppers.
