Lasagna Rolls

I. Love. These. I got this recipe from Jessica at A Country Girls Livin. This is definetely (sp?) a keeper! No picture of this one...sorry!

What you need:

*1 box Lasagna noodles
*1 lb. Italian sausage
*1 small onion, chopped
*2 cloves garlic, minced
*Spaghetti sauce (about 36 oz.)
*1/4 cup chicken broth
*3 Tbsp. parsley (fresh or dried)
*1/2 tsp. salt
*3 cups Ricotta cheese
*2 cups Mozzarella cheese
*2 eggs, lightly beaten
*1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
*1/2 cup and 2 Tbsp Parmesan cheese
*1 tsp. Italian seasoning

What you do:

*Cook Lasagna noodles according to package directions; drain. Cut in half (width-wise) and set aside.
*Cook sausage (make sure you remove the casings) and onion in a large skillet, stirring until sausage crumbles and is almost cooked. Add garlic a few minutes before sausage is completely cooked. Stir and continue cooking until the sausage is no longer pink; drain if necessary.
*Add spaghetti sauce, broth, parsley, and salt; stirring well. Cover and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
*Ladle a small amount of sauce into the bottom of a lightly greased 9x13 baking dish. Set the remaining sauce aside for now.
*Combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup Mozzarella, eggs, bread crumbs, 2 Tbsp Parmesan, and Italian seasoning; stir until well combined.
*Spread ricotta mixture evenly over lasagna noodles. Roll up (like you would if you were making enchiladas or cinnamon rolls). Place rolls, seam side down, into the baking dish.
*Pour the remaining sauce over the lasagna rolls and sprinkle with 1/2 cup Parmesan and 1 cup Mozzarella.
*Bake, covered, at 375 degrees F for 30 minutes.
*Uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
*Serve with a green salad and French bread for an awesome meal your family will love!
