Our Fried Lasagna Rolls are a great treat for adults and kids alike<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Look, anything bite-sized and deep fried is going to be a hit with kids. They crunchy Panko breadcrumb coating and ridiculously tasty filling is the perfect combination of flavors and textures for kids to enjoy. So, they\u2019re going to love this dish. It\u2019s a filling enough dish that you\u2019ll be full after 1 \u2013 2, especially for a lunch or afternoon treat
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I would caution however, this is probably not the kind of dish you want to cook with your kids. You can have them help you prepare the Rolls, which is always fun. However, when it comes to cooking, we\u2019re deep frying them in hot oil, so best to keep those kids away from the kitchen at this point! Deep frying is perfectly safe, but I always air on the side of caution when cooking with hot Oil, as it must be respected at all times to cook completely safely!

This recipe is based on having leftover Lasagna ingredients, however..<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
We understand you may have come across this recipe and want to make it from scratch, without having already made a delicious Lasagna. Well, that\u2019s totally fine with us! In fact, we expect that from a lot of visitors to this recipe! Therefore, in the full recipe outlined below we\u2019ll show you how to make everything from scratch. That includes the delicious Red Wine Braised Meat Sauce and the Cheesy Bechamel Sauce. The two cornerstone elements of a Lasagna! So, no need to venture elsewhere as we\u2019ve got the full recipe for you below!

This dish does take some time to make from scratch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you’re making it from scratch I will caution you that it does take a lot of time. A few days, for that matter! The reason for the long time is we want to allow the flavors in the Meat Sauce to develop, which is best done when slow cooked, and then cooled and refrigerated overnight
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My recommendation is to make this Classic Lasagna<\/a>, which will have ample leftovers for you to easily prepare these Fried Lasagna Rolls the next day. That way you\u2019ve got an amazing, hearty dinner to feed the family, and a fun treat to make the next day! There are several elements in making this dish. Prepare these elements separately and allow them to cool (refrigerate overnight preferably) before assembly. This will make the whole cooking process as simple as possible. Here\u2019s a quick overview of each of the elements required to make our amazing Fried Lasagna Rolls Our classic Meat Sauce is prepared in a typically classic way. Vegetables are cooked down along with some Bacon until tender, then a mix of Ground Beef and Pork are slow cooked with Tomatoes (Paste, Puree, and Canned) for a few hours, partially covered What really brings the flavor to this Meat Sauce recipe, however, is the inclusion of Red Wine. Adding Red Wine to the sauce and cooking it down right before you add the Meat brings a richness, sweetness, and complexity to the dish. The flavors are rich and indulgent, which is what you want with a Lasagna I like to use a full bodied Red Wine, as the flavors are richer which will translate well to the sauce. No need to go too overboard with the quality of the Red Wine but use one that you would like to drink yourself. The dish needs 1 cup of Wine, which will leave more than enough left to drink during \/ afterwards! This dish is totally fine to serve to kids too. All the alcohol will burn off after a few minutes of cooking in the pot. What is left is a rich, sugary reduced Wine Sauce which wonderfully flavors the Sauce The second primary component in our Fried Lasagna Wraps is, of course, Cheese! You can\u2019t have Lasagna without cheese! We\u2019re not mucking around with Ricotta or anything silly like that. We\u2019re going completely classic with a luscious, creamy Cheesy Bechamel Sauce! To make the sauce, combine equal parts Butter and Flour into a large pot and cook it down for about 5 minutes until smooth. Then, add enough warm Milk for a slightly thickened sauce to form. Once you\u2019ve got the right consistency in the sauce it\u2019s time to add the Cheese We use a combination of Parmesan Cheese, Cheddar Cheese, and Mozzarella. The primary flavor in the cheese sauce will be Parmesan. As Parmesan has such a strong flavor, using equal parts Cheddar and Parmesan will still see the prominent flavor in the sauce being Parmesan Add a little bit of Mozzarella in there as well. The Mozzarella isn\u2019t used as much for flavor as it is for texture. Mozzarella will bring those wonderful, gooey, stretchy quality to the sauce. Like the Meat Sauce, place the completed Cheese Sauce into the refrigerator to cool. This will help make the assembly of the Fried Lasagna Rolls a lot easier Remove the Meat and Cheese Sauces from the refrigerator and allow them to warm up a little bit at room temperature. Place the Lasagna Sheets in boiling water for about 5 minutes so they are cooked almost completely. This will also make them pliable so they\u2019re easy to roll Place a Lasagna sheet on a flat surface and then add a coat of Cheese Sauce. Cover the entire sheet but leave about \u00bd inch at one end. This will help to \u2018seal\u2019 the Roll when it\u2019s wrapped. Add a thin layer of Meat Sauce over the top of the Cheese Sauce. Try to keep it thin, so cut up any larger chunks of ground meat so it\u2019s smooth Then, simply roll the sheet up to form a cylindrical shape. Depending on your Lasagna sheets, you may want to cut them in half to create your perfectly sized rolls, ready for coating and frying. I would also suggest cutting off a little bit from each end of the Rolls. This will create more of a \u2018flush\u2019 end, which will allow for more even and consistent coating of the Breadcrumbs To coat them. Simply prepare three bowls. The first filled with Flour, second with whisked Eggs, and the third with Breadcrumbs. Dip the rolls into the Flour, Egg, and Breadcrumbs, ensuring you get a good, even coating throughout each step Then we simply fry them up in some hot Oil at around 320F for 2 \u2013 3 minutes. As everything in the wrap is already cooked, you only need to fry them until the coating has turned into a beautiful golden-brown color. Once at this point, remove the Fried Lasagna Rolls from the Oil carefully with a strainer and set aside on a wire rack. Season with Salt and they\u2019re done! You can enjoy these Fried Lasagna Rolls as they are, and they\u2019re great. However, for the best result I recommend making a quick and easy Marinara Sauce. This adds even more wonderful Tomato flavors to the dish and gives you an optional dipping sauce to enjoy with the Rolls.
