Ingredients

• 6 oven-ready lasagna noodles
• 8 oz. low-sodium deli-sliced ham, chopped
• 1 (8 oz.) pkg. shredded mozzarella
• 1/2 cup drained sun-dried tomatoes in oil, patted dry, chopped
• 1 cup tomato-basil pasta sauce
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• Fresh basil leaves (optional)

Instructions

Heat oven to 350°F. Arrange noodles in 13”x9” baking dish, overlapping as necessary; pour hot tap water halfway up sides of dish to cover noodles. Let noodles soak until softened, about 10 min.

Meanwhile, in medium bowl, combine ham, 1 1/2 cups mozzarella and sun-dried tomatoes; stir in pasta sauce.

Transfer noodles in single layer to paper towels; pat dry. Dry baking dish; pour in cream. Dividing evenly, spread ham and cheese filling over noodles (about 1/2 cup each). Halve lengthwise; starting with one short end, roll up each pasta strip jellyroll style. Place rolls cut sides up slightly touching in baking dish. Arrange tomatoes in dish around rolls; cover. Bake until noodles are tender, 20–25 min. Uncover; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake until cheese is melted, about 5 min. Heat broiler. Broil until lightly browned, 2–3 min. If desired, garnish with basil.
