We love traditional lasagna as much as the next carb enthusiast but sometimes you just want to crisp things up and make your pasta a little extra. This fried lasagna recipe is cheesy, crunchy, golden on the outside, soft and savory on the inside.

But here’s the twist. We’re giving this deep-fried comfort food a little glow-up with a high-protein Sturdy Marinara sauce that actually pulls its nutritional weight. So while yes, you are technically frying lasagna (no judgment here), you’re also getting 37 grams of protein per serving. Each fried roll clocks in at around 876 calories, which means it’s not just a snack; it’s a full-blown meal with gains.

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Boil the lasagna noodles according to the package, but go just shy of fully done. Lay them flat on parchment paper so they don’t stick and tear like traitors.
In a bowl, mix the ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, 1 egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Spread a few spoonfuls of filling onto each noodle and roll it up like a little pasta burrito. Place them seam-side down and try not to eat them just yet.
Set up your breading station: flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, bread crumbs in the third. Dip each roll in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Pat them gently so the crumbs stick and don’t flake off during frying.
Heat about ½ inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, fry the lasagna rolls in batches for about 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels or a cooling rack.
While the rolls are cooling, warm up that high-protein Sturdy Marinara Sauce in a saucepan. Feel free to add red pepper flakes or basil.
Plate your crispy rolls, spoon warm marinara over the top (or serve it on the side for dipping), and enjoy immediately. Bonus points for extra cheese on top.
