5️⃣ Once all roll-ups are in the dish, spoon more marinara sauce over the top.

4. Bake to Perfection

1️⃣ Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
2️⃣ Uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes until hot and bubbly.
3️⃣ Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley for a pop of green.
