- For a crispier lasagna roll, cook them in a single layer on a baking sheet. You may need to cook them in batches.
- If you don't have a baking dish that's large enough to fit the lasagna rolls, you can cook them in a large skillet over medium heat. Just be sure to cover the skillet so that the cheese melts.
- For a vegetarian version of this recipe, omit the ground beef and add an extra can of black beans.
- You can customize the flavor of the lasagna rolls by adding different spices and herbs to the ricotta cheese mixture. Try adding garlic powder, oregano, or basil.
- If you're short on time, you can use pre-made lasagna noodles. Just be sure to cook them according to the package directions.
