Ingredients
Method
- Cook the noodles according to package instructions in salted water until al dente. Drain and transfer to a pot of room temperature water to prevent sticking.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink. Drain excess fat if necessary. Season with salt and ground black pepper.
- Add the onion and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Stir in the marinara sauce, bring to a simmer, and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, egg, parmesan cheese, 1 ½ cups of mozzarella, and Italian seasoning. Stir until smooth and well combined.
- Spread ½ cup of the meat sauce on the bottom of a 9×13 inch casserole dish.
- Lay the noodles flat on a baking sheet. Spread about ¼ cup of the ricotta mixture evenly over each noodle. Top with 1 heaping tablespoon of the meat sauce.
- Roll up each noodle and place seam-side down in the casserole dish.
- Cover with the remaining meat sauce and top with the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
- Loosely tent with foil, ensuring the foil does not touch the cheese, and bake for 30 minutes.
- Uncover and broil for 1 to 3 minutes, watching carefully, until the cheese begins to brown. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with parsley, and serve.

Notes
Cover the dish with foil for the first half of baking to prevent drying.
