When time is crunched and you want a little Italian comfort food, these Ham and Cheese Lasagna Roll Ups are for you. It couldn’t be easier to put together and bakes in 20 minutes.
Ham and Cheese Lasagna Roll Ups
This is ridiculously easy to make and with minimal ingredients used, happens to deliver big time flavor.
Can I use uncooked lasagna pasta?
Sure. If you use the boxed uncooked, version boil the lasagna pasta strips al dente per package instructions. Pat dry and then stuff and roll as per instructions.
How do I make Lasagna Roll Ups?
- I use fresh pasta sheets you can pick up in the refrigerated cheese and fresh pasta section of the market. I use ones that don’t need cooking and are ready to use.
- With some fresh deli sliced ham, fontina or provolone cheese you layer and roll up. Slice and put in a baking dish.
- Cream gets poured over, a sprinkling of nutmeg and cheese and in the oven it goes to bake.
For a recipe this easy, I love what ends up getting served on the table.
A delicate, warm and cheesy pasta filled with slices of ham and cheese all covered in a wonderful cream sauce that thickens as it reduces in the oven. The nutmeg nuance and cheesy goodness are too good to pass up.
If you’re in a pasta kind of mood try my Chicken Tortellini Dijon Alfredo, Browned Butter Pasta with Grilled Sausages or my Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta. Whether it’s for lunch or serve with a side salad and dinner is done. Enjoy!

To start, there is no grocery store near me that sells the fresh pasta sheets. I thought I’d be fancy and get the no boil lasagna noodles, soften then up with boiling water… this did not work. Hail Mary attempt, I poured a bit of cream into my buttered dishes, layered lasagna noodles, ham, and provolone cheese, repeated several times and topped with cream, nutmeg, and mozzarella. Baked at 450⁰ for 20 minutes, my noodles were “softened”, I’d probably add 5 minutes to cook time.
Thought this was a fail, but tried to salvage…it was DELICIOUS, the whole family loved it, only complaint, didn’t make enough!
Thank you for sharing this Jael! I am so glad it turned out for you! Next time you might have to make double! Happy New Year!
Same lol. I still look for these sheets at my local grocery stores. I just make fresh lasagna noodles. A little bit more of a pain but they do cook up and cool quickly. I love this recipe. I also just use really quality jarred sauce to pour over the top.
Hey All. I also set out to search for the lasagna sheets and none to be found. I bought the barilla oven ready lasagna. The google machine said to boil them first for 3 minutes until pliable (in a large pot with some salt and oil). This worked out great 🙂
I typically find the pasta sheets next to the ravioli in the refrigerated section with cheeses if this helps! Glad you made it Pam! 🙂
These roll ups look rich and fabulous, Kevin! Love how simple they are to assemble!
Thanks Marissa!
Hello Kevin! What do you think about lightening this up a little? Would it work with half and half instead of cream?
I have not tried that myself so I do not know. My thoughts in using the cream is a richer, thicker sauce. With half and half, it has less fat so it might take longer to reduce and then the pasta would be over cooked?
