Recipe: Simple Lasagna Rolls

A while back I shared a post about meatless/vegetarian meals that we try to incorporate once or twice a week. Meatless meals don’t bother me but my husband is not exactly a fan. That was until I started making these lasagna rolls and now it is one of his favorite dishes.

The recipe makes more than we need for just the two of us so I like to put half of the rolls in a freezer safe container for Andrew to take for lunch when he is in a pinch.
