LASAGNA ROLLS

Steps:

• To make the sauce: Melt the butter in a heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the flour and whisk for 3 minutes. Whisk in the milk. Increase the heat to medium-high. Whisk the sauce until it comes to a simmer and is thick and smooth, about 3 minutes. Whisk the salt, pepper, and nutmeg into the bechamel sauce.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Whisk the ricotta, spinach, 1 cup Parmesan, prosciutto, egg, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl to blend.
• Add a tablespoon or 2 of oil to a large pot of boiling salted water. Boil the noodles until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain. Arrange the noodles in a single layer on a baking sheet to prevent them from sticking.
• Butter a 13-by-9-by-2-inch glass baking dish. Pour the bechamel sauce over the bottom of the prepared dish. Lay out 4 lasagna noodles on a work surface, then spread a large spoonful (about 3 tablespoons worth) of ricotta mixture evenly over each noodle. Starting at 1 end, roll each noodle like a jelly roll. Lay the lasagna rolls seam side down, without touching, atop the bechamel sauce in the dish. Repeat with the remaining noodles and ricotta mixture. Spoon 1 cup of marinara sauce over the lasagna rolls. Sprinkle the mozzarella and remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan over the lasagna rolls. Cover tightly with foil. Bake until heated through and the sauce bubbles, about 20 minutes. Uncover and bake until the cheese on top becomes golden, about 15 minutes longer. Let stand for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the remaining marinara sauce in a heavy small saucepan over medium heat until hot, and serve alongside.

LASAGNA MARINARA ROLLS

Steps:

• Make the sauce: Pour the olive oil into a large pot, add the pancetta and cook over medium-high heat until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the onion, season generously with salt and cook until soft but not browned, 6 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring.
• Pass the tomatoes through a food mill (or puree in a food processor) and add to the pot. Fill one of the empty tomato cans with about 2 1/2 cups water, add to the pot and season generously with salt. Simmer 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Taste frequently and season with salt as the sauce simmers-tomatoes take a lot of salt.
• Make the lasagna: Preheat the oven to 375. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil (the water should taste like the ocean). Add the lasagna noodles and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes. Fill a bowl with salted ice water. Remove the pasta from the boiling water and transfer to the ice water to stop the cooking.
• Mix the ricotta, pecorino, 1/4 cup parmesan, 1 1/2 cups mozzarella, eggs, thyme and 2 teaspoons salt in a bowl. Drain the pasta and place on a clean towel in a single layer.
• Coat the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with a ladle or two of sauce. Spread 3 heaping tablespoonfuls of the cheese filling down the center of each lasagna sheet; roll up the sheet (but not too tightly or the filling might ooze out). Place seam-side down in the baking dish, leaving a little room between each roll. Cover with 3 to 4 cups sauce and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup parmesan and 1 1/2 cups mozzarella.
• Bake, uncovered, until the lasagna bubbles around the edges and the cheese melts, about 1 hour. Let rest 10 minutes, then serve with extra sauce.

LASAGNA ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F You might want to preheat later in the preparation depending on your oven.
• Cook noodles per package directions. Keep to the long side of the suggested cooking time.
• Meanwhile, cook sausage at medium-high heat, browning it without regard for fully cooking it. Once it browns, reduce heat and roughly cut into ½" pieces. Then, drain or reduce the fluid in the pan.
• When the noodles finish cooking, retain ½ cup of starchy pasta water, and drain, -not- rinse, noodles. Shake the colander about once every 2-3 minutes to keep them from sticking. When they are cool enough to handle, hang them over the side of the colander to help keep them separate.
• Add the starchy pasta water, onions, and garlic to the sausage. Cover and cook at low heat until the onions and garlic are good and soft and the sausage is nearly fully cooked (no pink visible).
• Uncover the pan and reduce, not drain, the fluid almost completely. Remove from heat.
• While sausage mixture cools, combine the salt, pepper, egg, and all cheeses -except- the grated parmesan in a medium mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly.
• After sausage mixture cools, combine it with the cheese mixture in the mixing bowl and mix well.
• Lay out ½ cup of the tomato sauce in the bottom of a 13" x 9" baking dish.
• Prepare rolls: cut lasagna in half width-wise, then spoon in about 2 tablespoons of the sausage-cheese mixture onto one end of the cut noodle. It should take up about one-third of the length. Then, wrap the noodle around and over the mixture, then itself, and place in the baking pan with the seam facing down. The noodle should stick to itself a little since it wasn't rinsed. Repeat for the remaining 19 rolls.
• Scatter any remaining sausage-cheese mixture over the rolls, then evenly pour the remaining tomato sauce over them. Add grated parmesan atop the tomato sauce.
• Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
• Remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes. You might want to broil it for another few minutes at the end, per your preference.
• Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
