Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions until just shy of al dente. Drain and immediately rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
3. Cover the bottom of a 13-by-9-inch baking dish with 1 cup marinara sauce.
4. In a medium bowl, blend ricotta, lemon zest, oregano, basil, and sea salt.
5. On clean work surface, spread out 4 noodles. Top with roughly 2 tablespoons ricotta mixture, spreading evenly over each noodle to create a thin layer. Roll each noodle tightly across to make a compact spiral. Repeat with remaining noodles.
6. Place rolled noodles neatly in prepared baking dish and cover with remaining 1 1/2 cups sauce. Bake uncovered on the center rack for 30 minutes. Garnish with additional lemon zest and fresh oregano or basil.
