Olive Garden's Lasagna Rollata Al Forno

I just found this recipe online, and you better bet that I'm making it tonight!

Ingredients:

Five Cheese Marinara Sauce

  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 2 cups alfredo sauce
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup italian blend shredded cheese
  • 1/4 cup red wine (I'm going to use beef stock and some basalmic vinegar instead)

Filling

  • 1 egg
  • 15 ounces whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 (8 ounce) mozzarella cheese, grated
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/2 cup asiago cheese, grated
  • 1/2 cup romano cheese, grated
  • 1 tablespoon italian seasoning, blend
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Noodles

  • 1 lb lasagna noodle
  • 1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs

Directions:


  1. Blend first two marinara ingredients together in a large saucepan. Add remaining ingredients and heat on medium, stirring frequently. The cheese will melt and the sauce will become creamy. Keep warm.
  2. Set aside 1/4 of mozzarella cheese. Beat egg into a large mixing bowl and add all remaining ingredients, blending well. Keep refrigerated until you are ready to use.
  3. Cook lasagna exactly according to package directions. Drain and rinse immediately with cold water so they are cool enough to handle.
  4. When ready to make, spread about 1/4 cup of marinara sauce in a large 9x13 baking dish. Based upon the number of noodles in your 1 lb of noodles, divide the filling accordingly. Lay one lasagna noodle in baking dish and spread with filling along noodle. Loosely roll the noodle up, jelly-roll style. Decide if this looks about right to you. If so, keep rolling the rest of the noodles. Otherwise use more filling per noodle and discard the extra noodles.
  5. Continue with each lasagna noodle until all noodles are rolled and arranged in baking dish. Cover each roll with remaining sauce, the remaining mozzarella cheese and top with Italian breadcrumbs.
  6. Bake in preheated oven at 350 degree for about 35 minutes.
