Simple but Delicious Lasagna Roll Ups

When my girls were in High School and time was limited, I ran across a recipe for Lasagna Roll Ups. I would make them a few times a month by request. I have long lost the recipe and don't remember where I even found it.
So, I have made up my own recipe for this family favorite. The ingredients include: ground beef, ricotta cheese, pasta sauce, parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, pinch of Italian seasoning and the star of the show of course is the lasagna noodles.
This does get a bit messy and you will need some counter space. Once the noodles are cooked and cooled, you fill them with the pasta sauce mixture and cheese and then roll them up. Place them in your baking dish, seam side down. I put the remaining sauce mixture and cheese on the top of the noodles and baked them.
My oldest daughter, recently had our first grandchild and I had asked her if there was something I could make her for dinner. This dish is what she asked for. As I made these, the memories came rolling back. I could almost hear the girls in the back ground.

Do you drain your ground beef before putting the pasta sauce in and which kind of parmesan cheese the grated or shredded
