Ingredients
Instructions
- Cook and drain the lasagne noodles.
- Divide the sausage into 6 pieces. Split each piece lengthwise and stuff with half a slice of mozzarella cheese.
- Wrap each sausage piece in a lasagne noodle.
- Place the wraps in a baking dish and cover with Italian sauce.
- Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.
- Serve topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider using turkey sausage instead of smoked sausage, which can reduce the fat content. You can also substitute part-skim mozzarella for a healthier cheese option. Boil the lasagne noodles until al dente to prevent them from becoming too soft when baked. Adding some sautéed vegetables like spinach or mushrooms can enhance flavor and nutrition.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the sausage lasagne wraps with a fresh green salad or garlic bread for a complete meal. A sprinkle of fresh basil or parsley can add a nice touch of color and flavor. These wraps also pair beautifully with sides like roasted vegetables or a light Italian pasta salad for a delightful dinner spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the wraps in a baking dish, cover with foil, and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes. You can also microwave individual servings for convenience, but the oven method will keep the texture better.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these lasagne wraps ahead of time?
Yes, you can assemble the wraps a day in advance. Just cover them tightly and store in the refrigerator. When ready to bake, simply add the sauce and bake as directed. This makes for a convenient meal prep option for busy nights.
What other sauces can I use besides Italian sauce?
While Italian sauce is traditional, you can experiment with marinara, Alfredo, or even a homemade pesto for a unique flavor twist. Just ensure the sauce complements the sausage and cheese for the best results.
Can I freeze the sausage lasagne wraps?
Absolutely! You can freeze the assembled but unbaked wraps. Just cover tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil. When ready to enjoy, bake from frozen, adding about 10-15 minutes to the cooking time, or thaw in the refrigerator overnight before baking.
