- Place cooked lasagna noodles on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of the cheese filling evenly on each noodle.
- Place a tablespoon of cooked beef or vegetables in the center of each noodle.
- Carefully roll each noodle, starting at one end, to form lasagna roll-ups.
- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce over the bottom of a greased baking dish.
- Place lasagna roll-ups seam-side down in a baking dish, arranging them side by side.
- Pour remaining marinara sauce over roll-ups, making sure they are well coated.
- Cover a baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese has melted.
- Remove the foil and continue baking for another 5-10 minutes until the cheese is golden and slightly crispy.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
