Ingredients
- 8 uncooked lasagna noodles
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 2 tablespoons pesto
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup part skim mozzarella cheese
- basil or parsley
- 2 cups homemade or jarred marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 16 ounces 2% cottage cheese
Instructions
- 1
Begin by setting your oven to 350°F (175°C) to preheat.
- 2
Pour approximately 1 cup of sauce into the base of a 9 x 12 inch or large oval baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- 3
In the meantime, bring a large pot of salted water to a vigorous boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the instructions on the package, then drain them well.
- 4
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, pesto, the egg, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Stir the mixture until it's well blended.
- 5
Lay a piece of wax paper on your countertop and arrange the lasagna noodles on top.

Ensure the noodles are adequately dried. Take 1/3 cup of the cheese filling and spread it uniformly across each noodle. Carefully roll each noodle up, placing them seam side down in the baking dish. Continue this process with the remaining noodles.

Pour the leftover sauce over the rolled noodles and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of mozzarella cheese on top of each roll.

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, being cautious not to let it touch the cheese, and bake for 40 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This recipe yields 8 rolls.
