Lasagna Rolls

I love, LOVE, love lasagna!  I made these rolls for dinner tonight and my 13 month old devoured his!

Lasagna Rolls are such a fun twist on the traditional lasagna. This recipe can be made in many different ways, add ground beef, ground turkey, tofu, spinach, mushrooms, even chicken. You can't go wrong!

This is a perfect freeze and eat later recipe... you can freeze individual rolls on a cookie sheet and then place in a freezer bag.

Here are the ingredients. You can or cannot add the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. It tastes good without it. I just love garlic powder in everything.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles for 6 to 8 minutes, or until just slightly underdone; drain.

In a large mixing bowl, mix together grated cheese, ricotta cheese, and 1 cup Parmesan cheese. (if you use tofu or spinach, you would add that with the cheese mixture).

Lay out a noodle. Spread a layer of the cheese mixture on the noodle, then add a thin layer of sauce. Roll the noodle up, and place seam side down in a 13x9 pan (spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of the pan). Repeat for other noodles.

Top rolls with remaining sauce.

Cover with remaining Parmesan. (I saved a small amount of shredded Mozzarella cheese and used a shredded Parmesan, Asiago, Romano blend).

Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 30 min, or until hot and bubbly.

Serve up with garlic bread and a salad! (And a glass of wine!!!)

So Good! :) Enjoy!
