Top each roll up with 2-3 tablespoons of marinara sauce, making sure to cover all of the edges. Sprinkle with remaining shredded Mozzarella cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and serve roll ups with more chopped basil. Serve warm.
- Marinara Sauce: Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan, over medium-high heat. Add onions to oil and saute about 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic, stir and cook for another minute. Pour in crushed tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let sauce simmer for 25-30 minutes.

This will be my new favorite way to make lasagna. It looks so delicious Holly!
I love these. I made them a few weeks ago, and I’m making them again for dinner tonight. They are delicious; and the sauce is simple, but amazing.
I just made this, totally messed it up but it was still great! I used Italian diced tomatoes instead of crushed tomatoes and cottage cheese instead of ricotta, oh and I used all 3 cups of mozzarella cheese in the cheese mix by accident (oops). It still came out pretty darn tasty! Even my husband loved it. It was time consuming but it was worth it! 🙂 Thanks for the recipe!!
I’ve made these twice and the second time I added a slice of procuitto to each roll up and it was heaven!
Liz, that sounds amazing! 🙂
