Lasagna rolls: neat on the outside, but the filling reveals a scandal, just like the news.
A neatly presented roll of lasagna sheets, filled with beef, tomato, and mozzarella, on a red sauce. Sliced and laid diagonally, the rolls form the silhouette of a music roll: tidy outside, with a 'scandalous' twist inside.
Ingredients
- 12 fresh lasagna sheets
- 700 g ground beef
- 2 onions
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 cans diced tomatoes (400 g each)
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 balls mozzarella
- 100 g grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Finely chop the onions and garlic.
- Heat olive oil in a large pan, sauté onion and garlic for 3 minutes.
- Add the ground beef, cook until browned.
- Add tomato paste, cook for 2 more minutes.
- Add diced tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 15 minutes.
- Pre-cook the lasagna sheets according to package instructions, drain.
- Slice the mozzarella into thin slices.
- Take a lasagna sheet, spread with meat mixture, top with mozzarella, and roll up tightly.
- Repeat with all sheets. Place the rolls side by side in a baking dish with a thin layer of tomato sauce.
- Beat the egg, brush the tops of the rolls, and sprinkle with Parmesan.
- Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown.
- Slice the rolls diagonally and arrange them in a row on the plate to form a music roll silhouette.
Serving notes
