Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time8 minutes
Total Time23 minutes
Servings: 2 people

Ingredients

  • 1 jar Bertolli Traditional Marinara with Italian Herbs and Fresh Garlic
  • 1 jar Bertolli Alfredo with Aged Parmesan Cheese
  • 2/3 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons basil pesto
  • pinch salt
  • pinch black pepper
  • 6 sheets fresh lasagna sheets or cooked dry lasagna sheets
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Make the filling: in a mixing bowl combine the ricotta, 1/3 cup Parmesan, 2 teaspoons basil pesto, a pinch of salt and pepper, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil; mix until smooth.
  • Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling onto each lasagna sheet and spread it into a thin layer with the back of the spoon.
  • Roll each sheet tightly from one end to the other to form a tube; set rolls aside.
  • Prepare the rosa sauce: pour about 3/4 cup marinara into the bottom of an oven-safe mug or small deep dish, then add a layer of shredded mozzarella over the sauce.
  • Place three rolled lasagna sheets into the mug or dish on top of the mozzarella, pressing down gently to fit; repeat with a second mug or another dish for the remaining three rolls.
  • Spoon about 1/2 cup rosa sauce (mix marinara and Alfredo to taste if you want a pink/rosa sauce) over the rolls to cover, then sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan.
  • Cover the mug or dish with foil and bake for 15–20 minutes, until cheese is melted and filling is heated through.
  • Remove foil and let cool 2 minutes, then invert each mug or dish onto a plate to release the rolls so sauce covers them.
  • Serve the roll ups sprinkled with extra shredded mozzarella or Parmesan and chopped fresh basil.

Notes

  • Use fresh lasagna sheets to save time, or cook dry sheets ahead of time.
  • Use quality store-bought sauces for best flavor.
