- 2 26-ounce jars tomato with basil pasta sauce, divided
- 1 16-ounce package egg roll wrappers
- 60-64 frozen cooked Italian-style meatballs (2 bags) (I always preferred to make my own)
- Stir together first 6 ingredients until blended
- Stir in ½ cup mozzarella and ½ cup Parmesan cheeses; set aside
- Spread 1 cup pasta sauce in bottom of lightly greased 13 x 9” baking dish
- Cut egg roll wrappers in half; arrange 10 halves over pasta sauce (wrappers will overlap)

- Arrange 10 wrappers evenly over mozzarella; spread ricotta mixture over wrappers
- Top with remaining wrappers and pasta sauce

You may substitute 2 pounds ground sirloin, seasoned with salt and Italian seasoning then rolled (or served as ground meat) and heated until meat is no longer pink
