Notes

Lasagna Roll-Ups are versatile because you can customize them with a variety of your family's favorite ingredients. If you like ground beef with tomato sauce, fill the lasagna noodles with that. If you like spicy Italian sausage and alfredo sauce, put that it your roll-ups. I often add spinach leaves or fresh basil for added flavor and color. What combination do you want to try next?
