Add the cooked noodles onto a large baking sheet and arrange them in a single layer.

Top each noodle with the meat sauce and spread it evenly. Roll and add them to the prepared casserole dish.

Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella cheese on top.
Cover the casserole dish with aluminium foil.
Place it inside the preheated oven and bake the lasagna roll-ups for about 40 minutes.
