Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time30 minutes
Total Time45 minutes
Servings: 10 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 28 ounces diced tomatoes (canned) with liquid
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 2 cups part-skim mozzarella shredded
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 10 noodles whole-grain lasagna noodles boiled according to package instructions

Instructions

  • Heat 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add the canned diced tomatoes with their liquid to the pan, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 1/4 teaspoons dried oregano. Simmer for 10–15 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour 1 cup of the sauce into the bottom of a 13 x 9-inch baking dish and spread evenly.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup grated Parmesan, 2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella, 1/2 cup ricotta, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano. Reserve 1/2 cup of this cheese mixture for topping.
  • Lay one boiled lasagna noodle flat, spread a portion of the cheese mixture evenly over the noodle, and drizzle about 1 tablespoon of sauce over the cheese. Roll the noodle tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining noodles.
  • Pour 1 1/2 cups of sauce over the arranged rolls, then sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup cheese mixture evenly on top.
  • Loosely cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and heated through.
  • Let the rolls rest for a few minutes before serving.
