30 minutes“Making your own spaghetti sauce is easy and economical. Prepare several quarts and freeze the leftovers in 1- or 2-cup portions in resealable plastic bags, ready for the next Italian supper.”
Ingredients
Serves 4
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped broccoli, thawed, drained
- 2 tablespoons minced onion
- 1 (15-ounce) container ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg, beaten
- 8 lasagna noodles (about 1/3 of a 16-ounce package), cooked, drained
- 1 (14-ounce) jar prepared spaghetti sauce
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add broccoli and onion. Cook until onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in ricotta, Parmesan, salt and egg.
2
Spread 2 tablespoons cheese mixture over each noodle. Roll, jelly roll-style, from short end to completely enclose filling.
3
Mix spaghetti sauce and water in a medium bowl. Spread three-fourths of sauce mixture in the bottom of a medium baking dish. Arrange roll-ups seam sides down over sauce mixture.
4
Spoon remaining sauce mixture over roll-ups. Sprinkle with mozzarella. Cover loosely with foil. Bake until roll-ups are cooked through, about 30 minutes.

The lasagna noodles will be easier to roll if you use the straight- edged variety instead of the curly-edged variety.
Great Pairings
Caesar Scalloped Potatoes
If you do not have Parmesan cheese on hand, you can substitute Swiss cheese instead. You will save money and create a family pleaser that gives the scalloped potatoes an extra tang.
