"This recipe was part of a feature on different ways to make lasagne in our local paper. I based cooking time on doing in the oven, would differ for the microwave."

- 1 lasagna sheet (fresh)
- 1⁄2 cup ricotta cheese

- 1 cup pasta sauce
- 2 tablespoons mozzarella cheese
directions
- Cut pasta sheet in half and drop into a saucepan of boiling water for 30 seconds to 1 minute and then drain and put pasta sheets on a clean tea towel.
- Combine the ricotta and parmesan and season with salt and pepper and then spread over the 2 sheets of pasta and starting with the short end, roll up into a cylinder and then place on a small baking dish and spoon over the pasta sauce and sprinkle with mozzarella and bake in a preheat 180C oven for 10 to 15 minutes.

This is so much more efficient than making an entire 13x9 dish, cuz in my family, there's never any guarantee that we finish with so many servings. With this recipe, nothing is ever wasted!

it looks bad and ugly -
Fantastic idea! The flavors of this dish are dependent upon a good rich sauce. I used 2 boxed gluten free noodles and with a salad this made 2 servings for me. Cottage cheese was whipped and used in place of the ricotta. A touch of ground nutmeg was added to the cheese filling. I like the idea of making lasagna rolls and freezing them. Thank you for a great meal for one. Made for Aussie Swap. -
Made for everyday is a holiday! I also did not make homemade pasta. Great for one person. Exactly what was expected! Will be making again!!! Thanks -

Quite good, but I did change a few things. I added an egg to the cheese mixture and some basil. Also I was too lazy, not to mention hungry (!) to make my own pasta, so I used a boxed pasta. Thanks for sharing, made for PRMR 2013

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
