Lasagna Roll Ups

1 lb hamburger
1 onion diced
1 jar pasta sauce
1 tub ricotta cheese (15 oz's)
2 eggs
8 lasagna noodles
2 tablespoons oil
1 bag shredded mozzarella
1/2 cup parmesan
Salt & pepper to taste
2 tablespoons Garlic powder
1 tablespoon Onion powder
1 tablespoon Basil dried or fresh
1 tablespoon Parsley dried or fresh
1 tablespoon Oregano dried or fresh
1 tablespoon Thyme dried or fresh

Brown meat and onion in a frying pan over medium heat. Drain and return to heat. Pour half the pasta sauce over the meat. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, 1 tablespoon of garlic, onion, basil, parsley, thyme and oregano. Turn on low and simmer for 20 minutes. While the meat sauce is simmering start boiling a large pot of water. Add the cooking oil and a dash of salt. Once boiling add the lasagna noodles making sure they are fully submerged. Allow to cook at a rapid boil for 12 minutes. Drain water and lay out noodles flat on the work space. In a bowl mix together ricotta cheese, eggs, dash of salt, and the remaining tablespoon of garlic. Mix thoroughly. Now it is time to construct the roll ups. Make sure your meat sauce, cheese mixture, mozzarella, and noodles are all right at hand. First sprinkle the noodle with mozzarella, then spoon a layer of ricotta cheese on, followed by a layer of meat sauce. Starting with the end closest to you gently roll up the noodle, making sure not to push the filling out. Once it it's rolled up place it seam down in a greased 9x13" baking dish. Once all 8 roll ups are in cover with the remaining pasta sauce, sprinkle with parmesan cheese, and bake uncovered on 350°F for 30 minutes. After you remove it from the oven sprinkle with any remaining shredded cheese and a couple dashes of parmesan. Each roll up serves 1 person. This recipe serves 8.
