Ingredients

1 1/2 pound Ground Beef
1 cup Fresh Mushrooms; chopped
1 md Onion; finely chopped
1 small Carrot; minced
1 clove Garlic; minced
1/4 cup Dry Red Wine
1/8 ts Nutmeg
1/8 ts Cayenne Pepper
2 cups Mozzarella Cheese; shredded
1 large Egg; lightly beaten
1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese; grated
28 oz Jar Ragu Spaghetti Sauce
3/4 package Lasagna Noodles; cooked and drained
to taste Salt and Pepper

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350F (175C).
2
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, thoroughly brown the ground beef. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
3
Add the chopped mushrooms, finely chopped onion, minced carrot, and minced garlic to the skillet. Saut until the vegetables are tender.
4
Pour in the dry red wine, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Cook until the wine is almost completely evaporated.
5
Remove the skillet from heat and allow the meat mixture to cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
6
In a medium bowl, combine the cooled meat mixture, mozzarella cheese, beaten egg, and 1 tablespoon of the Parmesan cheese. Mix thoroughly.
7
Spread half of the spaghetti sauce evenly into the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish.
8
Lay out the cooked lasagna noodles. Evenly spread about 1/3 cup of the meat filling over the length of each noodle.
9
Carefully roll up each noodle. Place the rolls seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining noodles.
10
Cover the dish and bake for 40 minutes.
11
Uncover the dish and sprinkle the remaining 3 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese over the rolls.
12
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.
