Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350F (175C).
-
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, thoroughly brown the ground beef. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
-
Add the chopped mushrooms, finely chopped onion, minced carrot, and minced garlic to the skillet. Saut until the vegetables are tender.
-
Pour in the dry red wine, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Cook until the wine is almost completely evaporated.
-
Remove the skillet from heat and allow the meat mixture to cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
-
In a medium bowl, combine the cooled meat mixture, mozzarella cheese, beaten egg, and 1 tablespoon of the Parmesan cheese. Mix thoroughly.
-
Spread half of the spaghetti sauce evenly into the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish.
-
Lay out the cooked lasagna noodles. Evenly spread about 1/3 cup of the meat filling over the length of each noodle.
-
Carefully roll up each noodle. Place the rolls seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining noodles.
-
Cover the dish and bake for 40 minutes.
-
Uncover the dish and sprinkle the remaining 3 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese over the rolls.
-
Bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.

Note
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
Variation: For a lighter version, substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef. You can also use a low-sodium spaghetti sauce to reduce sodium content.
Tip: Ensure the meat mixture cools sufficiently before adding the egg and cheese; if it is too hot, it may melt the cheese prematurely and make the rolls difficult to handle.
Ingredient Note: Use no-boil lasagna noodles if you prefer to skip the boiling step, but check the package instructions for adjustments to baking time or liquid content.
