Preparation
Step 1
Stir together first 6 ingredients until blended. Stir in 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese; set aside.
Spread 1 cup pasta sauce in bottom of a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish.
Cut egg roll wrappers in half lengthwise; arrange 10 halves over pasta sauce. (Sara's note, use 1/3 of package for each layer vs. 10.) (Wrappers will overlap.) Top with meatballs. Spoon 3 cups pasta sauce over meatballs; sprinkle with 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese. Arrange 10 wrappers evenly over mozzarella. Spread ricotta cheese mixture over wrappers; top with remaining wrappers and pasta sauce.
Bake at 350° for 50 minutes. Top with remaining 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese and remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Bake 10 more minutes. Let stand 15 minutes.
