Casseroles… the ultimate comfort food 🥰! They can be anything from Meatloaf, Lancashire Hotpot, Cod au Gratin, Chicken Vesuvio, Baked Ziti, Shepherd’s Pie, Turkey Tetrazzini, etc. They’re delicious, satisfying and nostalgic as they bring us back to our childhood.
There’s a long list of tasty casseroles on the website and here’s another one to add to it… my Lasagna Roll Ups! These cute little bundles of deliciousness are filled with yummy ingredients 😋! It’s a great way to enjoy lasagna without being so messy when serving.
There are a few steps to do but if you know how to manage your time and have your “mise en place” ready, everything goes pretty fast. While the noodles are cooking, the filling is mixed and then start making the sauce. It’s just a matter to be organized!
After the pasta is cooked according to package directions minus 1:30 minutes ⏳, they’re placed in a large bowl filled with cold water. Not only will it stop the cooking process but also prevent them from sticking together… just give a little swish to make sure they don’t.
The filling for the Lasagna Roll Ups is so delicious and easy to make 👩🍳👨🍳. The only thing you have to pay attention to is how wet your ricotta is. I use a good quality cheese but if yours is too wet, you can drain it for a few hours. Check out my method… Ricotta Cheese • How to Drain
Like most of my recipes, I use more freshly ground black pepper than salt. I like the taste plus it has great health benefits 💚 such as high in antioxidants, prevents cancer, has anti-inflammatory properties, rich in vitamin B, detoxifies the body, improves brain function, lower cholesterol, etc.
Often, I use Grana Padano 🧀. The reason is we buy it at Costco and it’s huge! On the other hand, Parmesan is a great substitute. When it comes to using Parmigiano Reggiano in the casserole, it’s a waste of great quality. Here’s the difference between these three…
-Parmesan: can be made with pasteurized milk, skim milk, concentrated skim milk or water. Good to cook with but not really great to enjoy on its own.
-Grana Padano: made with partially skimmed raw milk from grass fed cows, has a softer note compared to the next one. It’s aged anywhere between 9 to 16 months. It’s a great cheese to cook with but also on its own.
-Parmigiano Reggiano: uses only raw milk from grass or hay fed cows 🐄 making it the King of the Cheese. It’s aged from 12 to 40 months and the longer it matures, the stronger the flavors are.
When it’s time to assemble the lasagna, I use a couple of large baking sheets so it’s less messy to clean 🧽 after I’m done. I also leave about 1-inch on both ends as well as some on each side of the noodles when spreading the filling and the meat sauce. As we roll the pasta, the mixture will be pushed out.
Way back when, I ordered some ribbed lasagna and it came in a 10 lb. box. It’s not really a problem as I like making a few recipes with them such as 8 Cheese Vegetable Lasagna, Seafood Lasagna, Lasagna Soup, Mexican Lasagna or Meat Lasagna. The only thing is the final result doesn’t look as neat as the regular ones…
Casseroles are so cozy especially when it’s cold outside and this delicious Lasagna Roll Ups recipe is exactly what we are looking for 👀. It’s satisfying and a dish that makes us feel good inside! This is another amazing comfort food to make for your family…
Bon Appétit! 🍽
