Easy Pesto Lasagna Roll-Ups

Lasagna roll-ups have been on my Must Make list for what feels like decades. And after tackling quick and crowd-friendly Easy Skillet Lasagna (a one-pan-zero-fuss dish) I knew it was only a matter of time until I got rollin’. And roll I am!




I’ve traded the luscious layers of lasagna for their rolled counterparts and added a flavor-packed addition to the creamy ricotta: basil pesto!

Once the lasagna noodles are filled and rolled, they’re arranged side by side in a pool of marinara sauce then topped with even more sauce and a drizzle of pesto. Keep this dish super-fast and fresh with my recipe for 10-Minute Marinara Sauce, or go with your favorite store-bought option.


A final shower of shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan, and you are well on your way to winning dinner. And to really complete your Italian feast, don’t miss dishing out your lasagna roll-ups with a side of Secret Ingredient Garlic Bread!

  4. Add 1 1/2 cups of the remaining marinara sauce to the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish.
