A delightful twist on traditional lasagna, these rolls are packed with cheesy goodness and savory pepperoni.
Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions, then drain and lay them flat on a clean surface.
Avoid overcooking the noodles to prevent them from tearing during rolling.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, chives, oregano, basil, and half of the mozzarella cheese.
Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Spread a portion of the ricotta mixture evenly over each lasagna noodle.
Leave a small border around the edges to prevent the filling from spilling out.
Top the ricotta mixture with slices of pepperoni and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.
Layer the toppings evenly for consistent flavor in each roll.
Carefully roll up each noodle and place it seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
Use gentle pressure to keep the rolls intact.
Pour the marinara sauce over the rolls, covering them completely.
Ensure the sauce covers all the rolls to keep them moist during baking.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes.
Covering the dish helps retain moisture and heat evenly.
Remove the foil, sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top, and bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes.
Baking uncovered allows the cheese to melt and slightly brown.
Let the rolls rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting helps the rolls set and makes them easier to serve.
