I love lasagna and usually make it the traditional way, but I couldn't get the idea of a lemon ricotta filling out of my head. These bright roll-ups because they are easy to assemble and serve. —Debbie Glasscock, Conway, Arkansas

Ingredients
- 12 lasagna noodles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound fresh mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 1 carton (15 ounces) whole-milk ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 cups whole milk
- Dash ground nutmeg
- Chopped fresh parsley, optional
Directions
- Cook noodles according to package directions; drain and pat dry. Preheat oven to 350°.
- In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; add mushrooms. Cook and stir until mushrooms are tender and liquid is evaporated, 6-8 minutes. Add wine, stirring to loosen browned bits. Cook and stir until liquid is evaporated.
- In a large bowl, combine egg, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, green onions, lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and mushrooms.
- In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour until blended; cook and stir until golden brown, 4-5 minutes (do not burn). Gradually whisk in milk. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Stir in remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and the nutmeg.
- Spread about 1/4 cup ricotta mixture on each noodle. Carefully roll up and place in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish, seam side down. Pour sauce over top.
- Cover and bake 35 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle with remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese. Bake, uncovered, until cheese is melted, 8-10 minutes. Let stand 15 minutes before serving. If desired, sprinkle with parsley.
