Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut the Hillshire Farm sausage into 2 to 3-inch pieces.
- Split each sausage piece lengthwise and stuff with mozzarella cheese.
- Wrap each sausage piece in a cooked lasagne noodle.
- Place the wrapped sausages in a baking dish.
- Cover with spaghetti sauce.

Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding Italian herbs like oregano or basil to the spaghetti sauce. If you prefer a lighter option, substitute turkey sausage for the smoked sausage. You can also use whole wheat lasagna noodles for a healthier twist. Make sure the noodles are fully cooked to avoid them becoming too soft during baking. This dish is a fun twist on classic Italian recipes.

These Sausage Lasagna Wrap-Ups are best served hot, straight from the oven. They pair beautifully with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal. Consider serving with a drizzle of extra marinara sauce on top for added flavor. This dish is perfect for family gatherings or as a hearty weeknight dinner, and it complements other Italian recipes wonderfully.
