Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 pound ground beef
• 18 lasagna noodles
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
• cooking spray
• 1 (26 ounce) jar chunky tomato sauce (such as Ragu®)
• 1 (12 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese, or as needed
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.25 white onion, chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain.

Step 3

Mix ricotta cheese, egg, parsley, and 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese together in a bowl.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes.

Step 5

Cook and stir ground beef, onion, garlic powder, and oregano in a large skillet over medium heat until onion is tender and beef is browned, about 10 minutes.

Step 6

Add tomato sauce and sugar; simmer until sauce is heated through, about 10 minutes.

Step 7

Place a lasagna noodle on a work surface. Spoon one layer ricotta cheese mixture, one layer meat sauce, and one layer mozzarella cheese atop lasagna noodle; top with another lasagna noodle. Roll up the stuffed lasagna noodles in the jelly-roll style; place in the prepared casserole dish. Repeat with remaining lasagna noodles, ricotta cheese mixture, meat sauce, and mozzarella cheese.

Step 8

Spread a spoonful of meat sauce atop each lasagna roll; top with remaining mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
