Lasagna Roll-Ups Recipe
Lasagna Roll-Ups
Looking for a more portion controlled serving of a classic favorite and often over indulgence causing lasagna, then look no further. These roll-ups are pretty easy to assemble and can fit within a reasonable cooking time for a week nite meal sure to please, just throw in a green salad and garlic toast. I used 2 cups of the Rustic Turkey Bolognese featured on this blog to smother the Ricotta, Parmesan and Mozzarella stuffed noodles and baked the whole shebang topped with cheese, baked to golden goodness. I served these magnificent gems to my nephew Damon, during his visit from New York over the holidays. He enjoyed them immensely, as did my niece Laura, my mom, and the two 'test subject' sisters, Hollie and Gayle.
The roll-ups be prepped ahead of time and baked when needed for easy entertaining or for a stellar meal on the fly.
