Ingredients
  

For the Beef and Cherry Filling:
  • 1 lb 450g ground beef
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cherries pitted and roughly chopped
  • 1 small onion finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 1/4 cup red wine optional, for depth of flavor
For the Cheese Filling:
  • 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the Lasagna Rolls:
  • 12 lasagna noodles
  • 2 cups marinara sauce store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese for topping
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese for topping
Optional Garnish:
  • Fresh basil or parsley chopped
  • A few halved cherries for a pop of color

Method
 

  1. If using leftover noodles, bring them to room temperature. If cooking fresh, boil noodles according to package directions, drain, and toss with a little oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk or cream (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir in vegetables, cheese, and protein of your choice. Add herbs or spices if desired.
  3. Heat 2–3 tablespoons of oil or butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Spread the noodles evenly across the pan and press down lightly to form a flat layer. Cook for 4–5 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the noodles. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 8–10 minutes until the edges are set and the center is almost firm.
  5. If the top is still runny, either place the skillet under a broiler for 1–2 minutes (if oven-safe) or carefully flip the frittata by sliding it onto a plate, inverting it back into the skillet, and cooking 2–3 more minutes.
  6. Slide the finished frittata onto a board, slice into wedges, and garnish with herbs, green onions, or a drizzle of soy sauce or hot sauce. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Cherry Selection: Fresh cherries provide the best flavor, but frozen cherries work well too. If using canned cherries, drain them thoroughly to avoid excess liquid in the filling.
  • Make-Ahead Option: Assemble the lasagna rolls up to a day in advance, cover tightly, and refrigerate. Bake as directed when ready to serve.
  • Freezing: These rolls freeze beautifully. Assemble, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil, and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before baking.
  • Vegetarian Variation: Swap the ground beef for sautéed mushrooms or lentils for a meat-free version that still pairs wonderfully with cherries.
