9 lasagna noodles
15 ounce container ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided use
1 Tablespoon minced garlic
2 Tablespoons finely chopped fresh chopped basil + more for topping (dried basil can be used or Italian seasoning )
pinch of black pepper
24 ounce jar marinara or pasta sauce, divided use

Boil lasagna noodles and cook just until al dente. Note: follow the package directions for make the lasagna noodles which includes salting the water. You don't want the noodles too soft or they won't hold together while rolling up.
While noodles are cooking, mix together ricotta, garlic, basil, black pepper, and one cup shredded mozzarella cheese in a bowl.
Remove noodles from the water (let them drip for a few seconds) and lay out side by side on a clean surface.
Divide the ricotta cheese mixture evenly on top of each of the 9 lasagna noodles.
Roll up each noodle, doing your best to make sure nothing squishes out in the process.
Spread around one cup marinara sauce in the bottom of a 11x7-inch casserole dish, then place each roll seam side down into the dish.
Cover with the remaining marinara sauce, then sprinkle evenly with remaining cup of mozzarella cheese.
Cover dish loosely with foil and bake for about 25 minutes in a preheated 350F degree oven.
When fully cooked, remove from oven and top with more fresh chopped basil. Allow to cool slightly before serving. If you serve it while it's still really hot, it might fall apart as you go to scoop it out of the baking dish.

Please refer to my FAQ’s and ingredient list above for other substitutions or for the answers to the most common questions.
Don't have an 11x7-inch dish? You can actually place these really close together and fit it into a 9x9 or it works in a 9x13-inch dish as well.
Instead of fresh basil, try some Italian seasoning. Use about 1/2 teaspoon. Or you can use dried basil (also 1/2 teaspoon.)
My favorite sauce to use is Rao's. The roasted garlic flavor goes amazingly well with this dish.
