Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 lasagna noodles (regular or oven-ready, cooked al dente)
  • 1 lb ground beef (85% lean preferred)
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon, chopped (about 6 strips)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped pickles (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (for sauce)
  • 1 tsp dried Italian herbs (basil, oregano, thyme)
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella (for topping)
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add lasagna noodles and cook until just al dente (8-10 minutes). Drain and lay flat on parchment or a clean towel.
  2. While noodles cook, fry bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy (6-8 minutes). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Chop when cool.
  3. In the same skillet, add ground beef. Cook on medium-high, breaking up with a spoon, until no longer pink (6-7 minutes). Drain excess fat if needed. Stir in minced garlic, salt, and pepper, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. In a large bowl, combine cooked beef, chopped bacon, ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, ketchup, mustard, and pickles (if using). Mix until well combined.
  5. Lay noodles flat. Spread about 1/4 cup filling evenly on each noodle, leaving a small border. Roll up noodles tightly and place seam-side down in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
  6. In a saucepan, heat marinara sauce over low. Stir in cream, parmesan, and Italian herbs. Simmer 3-4 minutes until smooth and slightly thickened.
  7. Pour half the sauce in the base of the dish. Arrange lasagna rolls on top. Cover with remaining sauce. Sprinkle mozzarella and extra parmesan over the rolls.
  8. Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake another 10-15 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and golden.
  9. Let cool 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley.

Notes

For gluten-free, use gluten-free lasagna noodles. For dairy-free, substitute plant-based cheeses. Roll noodles tightly and don’t overfill to prevent them from falling apart. Broil for 2-3 minutes at the end for extra crispy cheese. Leftovers keep well and flavors deepen after a day in the fridge.
