Rolled Lasagne with Pesto12 lasagne noodles1 egg
2 cups (1 lb) ricotta cheese
2 cups (8 oz) mozzarella cheese (reserve a little for the top)
1/4 tsp organo leaves
3 TBSP minced parsley
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1/4 cup EACH whipping cream and Pesto
Cook noodles according to the direction on the package. Drain and set aside. When cool enough to handle, carefully separate noodles.
In a medium-size bowl, beat egg, then blend in ricotta and mozzarella, oregano, parsley and garlic. Spread ricotta mixture evenly over each noodle. Roll from end to end like a pinwheel. Stand rolled noodles on end in a greased shallow 8 x 10 baking dish.
Blend cream and pesto; pour evenly over lasagne rolls. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Cover tightly with foil and bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 to 35 min or until sauce is bubbly and rolls are heated through. If you like your cheese a little browned, remove foil the last 10-15 min. Makes 6 servings.
