A quick version of lasagna that you can pack in a lunchbox, take to work or school, and eat easily without getting messy. Boiled lasagna noodles are filled with ricotta and a little fresh basil. The whole thing is rolled up and packed into a container. No baking required! If you prefer a meatier option, you can add pepperoni slices to the rolls. Before assembling, boil extra noodles in case any break while rolling. These lasagna rolls also make a light appetizer at a party, with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.

Ingredients:

• 8 sheets of lasagna noodles
• Olive oil to drizzle over the noodles
• 1.5 cups semi-skimmed ricotta
• 3 tbsp. l. grated parmesan
• 5 sun-dried tomatoes, canned in oil, finely chopped
• 1 cup loosely torn fresh basil leaves
• 24 slices pepperoni (optional)

Preparation:

Step 1
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package directions. You can cook 1-2 extra noodles in case they break. Drain and toss the lasagna with a little olive oil. Hang the noodles over the edge of the pot, without overlapping, to cool.
Step 2
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine ricotta, Parmesan, tomatoes and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Step 3
• Line each noodle sheet with the ricotta mixture and spread it evenly over the entire length of each sheet. Top with a few basil leaves and 3 pepperoni slices, if using. Roll up and cut each roll in half to make 16. Place 4 rolls, fluted side up, in each lunch container and refrigerate. Spoon 1/4 cup marinara sauce into each small container and add them to the lasagna.

  You can serve the rolls at room temperature with warm marinara sauce.
